Epic Privacy Browser Forums

When Epic starts up, it wants to connect to Google's servers. If you block this, the browser will no longer work.
What is the purpose of this? And what data does this send to Google?

(I want a browser that doesn't share data with Google, but I can't find one.
Even Firefox continuously shares data with Google.)
