Various Edge Versions On MacOS Big Sur Beta 4 Crashes Very Frequently
Hi guys,
I have logged this feedback via the browser (whilst I had the time) but I wanted to see if others are having similar problems. I am confident it is linked to Big Sur as Catalina had no issues at all.
The issue:
- I run Edge and start using it, sometimes it will last maybe an hour, sometimes only a few minutes and it will terminate.
- I do not browse the same combination of sites every time.
- I have been forced to use Chrome Canary as an alternative, but this doesn't crash at all. (version 86.0.423.0)
- This is a problem with Edge, Edge Beta and Edge Dev too as I have installed all of those and it does the same thing.
- Interestingly, just before the last force close, I ran Edge Canary via the Terminal script inside the app icon (show package contents > contents > MacOS) it had shown me this in the Terminal window:
[0812/102241.519215:WARNING:process_memory_mac.cc(93)] mach_vm_read(0x7ffee6b73000, 0x2000): (os/kern) invalid address (1)
[0812/102242.473112:WARNING:crash_report_exception_handler.cc(258)] UniversalExceptionRaise: (os/kern) failure (5)
zsh: segmentation fault
My stats:
- At the time of writing I was running Edge Canary Version 86.0.605.0 and I am on the Insider Fast ring.
- Macbook Air 13 Inch Early 2014
- Big Sur Beta Version 20A5343i (the crashes have happening since Developer Beta 1)
I am not looking for an immediate fix, but perhaps some contact with devs and fellow Edge lovers to sort this issue out, I HATE having to use Chrome 😞
