No, Epic is probably working fine and thwarting fingerprinting. Epic rarely now blocks techniques but rather offers randomness data so that your fingerprint will be inconsistent. We switched to this tactic so as not to break websites which is increasingly happening if you block fingerprinting functions outright. Note that Epic's ad & tracker blocking does still block many fingerprinting scripts. Our fingerprinting protections however rarely block functions but rather add randomness into them.
Yes, Epic's latest update with a new, stable encrypted proxy network is live :-).
Please try deleting the "default" folder in the Epic folder in %localappdata% (type that in a Navigator Window).
If that doesn't work, you can try deleting registry entries then uninstalling and reinstalling Epic.
Please always back up passwords and bookmarks before trying any of the above.
If none of that works, please email Alok directly for help: alok at hiddenreflex dot com
Hi,
Please try resetting Epic via the settings / preferences page. If that doesn't work try these steps:
1. Close the Epic browser to ensure that no processes are actively using the user profile files.
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the specified path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default (replace "user" with your actual username).
For Macs, navigate to the Epic folder in Application Support
3. Within the "Default" folder, locate and delete the following files:
A. Preferences
B. Secure Preferences
These files store user preferences and settings, and deleting them will reset the Epic browser extensions to their default configuration.
4. After deleting these files, you can reopen the Epic browser. It should revert to its default state with default extensions. However, any extensions you installed from the Chrome Web Store or other sources will be removed, and you will need to reinstall them manually.
Remember that performing these steps will reset your browser's extensions settings, but it won't affect your bookmarks, browsing history, or other personal data, as they are typically stored separately in the browser profile folder.
The latest versions of Epic do not block requests or header data or such which can break many sites...instead Epic adds noise to the values it returns so that it can't be reliably fingerprinted. In other words, there will be different values for different sessions to thwart fingerprinting attempts. This is how the latest anti-fingerprinting protection works in Epic. Some old sites such as that can say that those functions work in Epic but won't realize that Epic's randomizes the data.
Please try registering with the encrypted proxy off and or try disabling ad blocking and fingerprinting protection via the umbrella button. They may be interfering with the site's functioning.
Sorry that's a setting that posts are unapproved until manually approved due to spam in the forum. Will make sure we approve all posts more regularly.
Note that Epic supports extensions so that there's a lot of flexibility now in terms of JS management including tools built-into Epic's Ad Blocker.
It's working fine for us. Check that your Epic got updated and or please try switching the country via the top right proxy icon.
Hi Matt,
Thank you and we understand your ethical concerns. This is great that you'd be willing to pay more to support companies that support your ethical principles. Unfortunately Microsoft 4x'ed the prices this year...so now it would be over $60/month for 5,000 searches :-(. So it's probably economically not feasible to offer a Bing-based subscription at present :-(. We'll keep your objection and thoughts in mind though :-).
Please check the Extensions page to see if the VPN and AdBlock extensions are there and enable them.
If they're not there, try "Reset Epic" via the Settings / Preferences page then close / re-open Epic.
if that doesn't work, you can try these steps to re-create them:
1. Close the Epic browser to ensure that no processes are actively using the user profile files.
2. Open Application Support by pressing option and clicking on the "Go" option in the top menu. Go to Application Support then Hidden Reflex then Epic then Default.
[for windows, Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the specified path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default (replace "user" with your actual username).]
3. Within the "Default" folder, locate and delete the following files:
A. Preferences
B. Secure Preferences
These files store user preferences and settings, and deleting them will reset the Epic browser extensions to their default configuration.
4. After deleting these files, you can reopen the Epic browser. It should revert to its default state with default extensions. However, any extensions you installed from the Chrome Web Store or other sources will be removed, and you will need to reinstall them manually.
Remember that performing these steps will reset your browser's extensions settings, but it won't affect your bookmarks, browsing history, or other personal data, as they are typically stored separately in the browser profile folder.
Please go to the Extensions page and enable the Encrypted Proxy extension -- then you should see it.
In case you don't see them on that page, try these steps:
1. Close the Epic browser to ensure that no processes are actively using the user profile files.
2. For Macs, navigate to the Epic folder in Application Support then to the Default folder therein.
(Open Application Support by pressing option and clicking on the "Go" option in the top menu. Go to Application Support then Hidden Reflex then Epic then Default. )
(For Windows, in a window navigate to the specified path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default (replace "user" with your actual username).)
3. Within the "Default" folder, locate and delete the following files:
A. Preferences
B. Secure Preferences
These files store user preferences and settings, and deleting them will reset the Epic browser extensions to their default configuration.
4. After deleting these files, you can reopen the Epic browser. It should revert to its default state with default extensions. However, any extensions you installed from the Chrome Web Store or other sources will be removed, and you will need to reinstall them manually.

Please try these steps to see if they bring the extensions back. After completing them, you may need to open / close Epic a few times before the extensions are re-installed.
1. Close the Epic browser to ensure that no processes are actively using the user profile files.
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the specified path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default (replace "user" with your actual username).

Please check the extensions page -- the Epic adblock and vpn extensions should be there which you need to enable.
Thanks for letting us know & we'll work to fix this in a future update.
We keep getting Epic white-listed by the anti-virus software vendors so I'm not sure why this is happening. See if there's a way to white-list Epic and or move it out of the quarantine. You need to modify Norton not Epic so uninstalling probably won't help. Also be sure to only install Epic via epicbrowser.com
Hi, not sure what this was or why it disappeared actually. Was it functionality from an extension?
The Chrome Webstore changed how it handles links. We have an update coming in a few days which fixes this. You can also visit the Old Chrome Webstore to install extensions in the meantime.
We don't censor anyone. The forum is besieged by spammers and would be useless if there wasn't a method approving / disapproving posts.
There's no downloadable information or such as we don't keep any such record in Epic. Make sure that Epic's adblock is enabled so that Google and FB trackers are blocked. They are ubiquitous on so many websites unfortunately, but generally blocked by Epic's AdBlock which includes Tracker blocking.
Hi, you can download the APK directly from our site and we'll make sure that's available.
Thanks, glad you can bypass CloudFlare now. There's no way to disable CloudFlare as it's used by the website itself.
In terms of the new tab page, would you prefer brighter colors say for the quick links / url dials? Would that be helpful?
Great thoughts -- sorry for the delays, browsers are hard and these small bugs can end up taking longer than expected :-(. Yes, we need to put more clearly the latest versions and release dates. We'll often do minor updates or patches and such so we haven't always posted these as formal updates, but we should make it easy to check that you're on the latest Epic.
Some Windows users are reporting that Epic features / extensions such as the proxy disappeared after the latest update. If so, please follow these steps to restore them.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
1. Close the Epic browser to ensure that no processes are actively using the user profile files.
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the specified path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default (replace "user" with your actual username).
