Re: System craches when browsing a web site

[Abou Al Montacir <abou.almontacir@sfr.fr>]

Hi Lisi,

Thanks for answering!

Yes I can browse that website using iceweasel without any issue. But It happens I use epiphany as primary browser and don't ask me why I use such a bad browser, I just don't like mozilla products!

Now The issue is not that epiphany craches, this I can understand any application has some bugs, but that the whole systems freezes, I think this is not Linux way! I expect a sigsegv or any other nice kernel reaction, but not have a frozen system due to a bad application. Linux kernel used to be so robust that even a bad kernel driver was not able to froze it.

That is the reason for this mail, I consider this a "general" issue but want just to confirm before filling that bug report.

What fellow users think?

Really, just to acknowledge your email, since I can't say anything helpful.  I 
had no difficulty opening https://www.blinq.com/, but I haven't got epiphany 
installed.
