Thanks for the help. I figured it out. It was my fault. I apologize for the confusion. It was my own, not the program, or the support folks here.

I am running Little Snitch. What I thought was the browser was Little Snitch. It kept showing the Epic icon and led me to believe that it was Epic. Little Snitch didn't do this initially. I didn't pick up on it when I tried to use Epic a few days later. I have recently installed a new version of Little Snitch and its appearances are different. It always used to have the propeller head guy, not it shows the program icon it is blocking.

The only time Epic shows how many trackers have been blocked is when I initially open it. Thats cool. Would be nice to see it all the time. It instills confidence.

I appreciate the effort put into developing the browser. I philosophically object to big brother snooping and this is a nice way to limit that a little bit.

"I have tried restarting and reinstalling. to no effect."

The only thing you suggest is restarting Epic... See my post above. I have restarted the application a dozen time if not more. Epic will not even make a single connection with out asking if I want to allow it. Not even a initial connection with out a pop up window asking me if it can make the connection.

I'm using Mac 10.9.2. When I first used Epic I would get a small window that would state how many trackers had been blocked. That does not happen any more. I just get many pop up windows asking if I want to Allow Epic to connect to sites. It seems I have to tell the program what to connect to and what not to.

I have tried restarting and reinstalling. to no effect. Do I really have to tell it what is safe to connect to? Seems odd.

I can't post an image or I would.
