Epic Privacy Browser Forums

Hi everyone! I'm always on the hunt for great recipes but with so many websites now loaded with trackers, pop-ups, autoplay videos, and ads, cooking inspiration can come at the expense of privacy.

Since Epic Browser offers built-in ad and tracker shielding, I’ve been exploring food and recipe sites that pair well with privacy-first browsing. I’d love to hear your favorites, especially places that load fast, let you jump straight to the recipe, and keep your data safe.

Here’s what I’ve found so far:

Privacy-Friendly Recipe Sites

Minimalist Baker Focused on plant-based and gluten-free recipes with a clean, simple design. Each recipe typically uses 10 ingredients or fewer, takes 30 minutes max, and includes a handy “Jump to Recipe” button. Great for minimal scrolling and no clutter.
Bootstrapped Ventures

Pinch of Yum Offers fresh, flavorful, everyday recipes with intuitive navigation and categories like “Quick & Easy” or “Meal Prep.”

Tastes Better From Scratch Family-friendly, made-from-scratch recipes that focus on ease, flavor, and simplicity. The site is intuitive and straightforward.

Discussion Starters

To get the conversation rolling:

Which recipe sites load cleanly with Epic’s ad/tracker blocking, and which still frustrate you?

Any favorite minimalist food bloggers or recipe tools that prioritize functionality over flashy design?

Do you have your own workaround for collecting recipes while keeping tabs off your trail?

Looking forward to your recommendations or hacks especially if they help keep the experience clutter-free and privacy-friendly!
