[Bug] App crash randomly
Describe the bug
Sometimes when browsing the app crash.
It seems the issue is due to the favicon files which are saved. Especially the app crash trying to update an existing favicon. When the app tries to delete the existing image file then an exception is throwed by the system but this exception is not catched by the app.

How to Reproduce
Make a search with Duck Duck Go Go to the a web site Browsing during a time Add a page as a bookmark Some times the app crash after a while
Expected behavior
The app should not crash
Environment
- DDG App Version: 5.104.0
- Device: Galaxy A20e
- OS: Android 10
Does it happen for a specific site or just randomly? I use DDG as my primary browser and I haven't experienced this scenario. We would need something more specific to investigate the issue.
Just randomly as it seems to me. I didn't find a specific scenario but it happens sometimes
There is definitely a bug with Bookmarks in the Android app. But for me, it's not random. I have a lot of bookmarks stored in it.Whenever I scroll down , the thumbnails of the sites keep refreshing .If I scroll down really slow (such that correct thumbnail is already there while I scroll past it) nothing happens...it doesn't crash. If I scroll even just a little faster that the correct thumbnails of sites are not there (that is they are still loading) then it just crashes.....I have been having this problem of app crashing while using the bookmarks menu for a while now....I was hoping that the issue would get resolved in the subsequent updates but it isn't so far. Hope it gets resolved soon.
Hi @swordonfire. Thanks for your precisions. What do you mean by "a lot of ..." ? I tried to reproduce the crash without success. I have about 20 bookmarks knowing that my screen is able to show 6 ones at a time.
@bonninf Probably more than 100...but try doing after clearing cache.The issue becomes more visible then.I reported the bug separately here https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/issues/1677 because it was happening in a very specific way in my case.
Seems related to https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/pull/1987
We will review it once we merge that PR
