The browser includes a proxy service that can be enabled by the user, and is automatically enabled when using a search engine. FeaturesĮpic's default configuration removes session data (such as cookies, history, and cache) upon closing the browser.

The browser integrates widgets such as social networking, chat clients, and email facilities. ContentsĮpic was released on August 29, 2013, with some features for Indian users specifically. The browser's developers claim that Google's tracking code has been removed, and that blocks other companies from tracking the user. Epic is always in private browsing mode, and exiting the browser deletes all browser data. It was developed by Hidden Reflex, a software product company founded by Alok Bhardwaj, using Chromium source code. Epic's proxy does not log anything - though it is not private-by-design unlike the TOR network - we continue to use our encrypted proxy instead of TOR because it's much much faster and more secure (2-3% of TOR's exit nodes have been found to be malicious).Epic is a privacy-centric web browser. Epic never records your history except for tab forward/back so that after a tab is closed, there is no record on your system of having visited that particular web page (that site may have stored cookies to log you in which are deleted upon closing Epic). Autofill in the Epic Privacy Browser is done via a local database so Epic never sends what you type in the address bar to any server. For this reason, Epic does not use any web services.

We believe that you should not have to trust us with your data - rather we should not have access to your data to the maximum extent possible. If you turn on Epic's encrypted proxy, you have protection from snooping by hackers, trackers, your ISP, government, and employer as well. Epic is in always-on "private browsing mode", so on close of Epic all browsing data is deleted (while you're browsing as little as possible is stored).Įpic has removed all Google tracking and blocks hundreds of other companies from tracking you. The Epic Privacy Browser is first web browser built on Chromium (like Google's Chrome browser) engineered to protect your privacy.
