Avast secure browser VPN breaks whole browser

Everytime I try and use the browser with the VPN on it completely stops working, just a blank white screen no error message nothing. It works when I turn off the VPN but not when it’s on

I tried checking for updates, restarting it, restarting my phone, re-installing the app, clearing data, clearing stache, contacting support (lead me here)

this issue has been going on for a week or two it’s driving me nuts
