Epic Privacy Browser Causing Avast To Treat It As Virus

I installed the Epic Privacy Browser on my Windows 10 Laptop, and it is running Avast Premium Security.
So when I ran Epic Browser, Avast pops up the Warning Sign Window and says it’s on a Blacklist and wants to start a scan.

Is the Epic Browser a Virus or Malware? This just started happening today 9/17/23 when I uninstalled the reinstalled the Epic browser.

Please let me know what to do - should I just not use Epic Browser? Or maybe I can out it on a “safe” list for Avast, or something like that?

–thx
