Looks good. I had to do a manual reinstall. The auto updater didn't work

I have been looking at the contents of the downloaded .zip and .exe file for a newer epicupdate.exe. It's still dated
2020-10-16 12:32:41 .....       509096       509440  EpicUpdate.exe

I assumed from this that there was no update.

Same here. Mostly Cloudflare spinning, white screens or ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED

Rarely used to happen. Now happening more often than not. And across all proxies.

I have started using Brave exclusively because of this.

With numerous tabs open the tab size gets small and the close-tab X is right in the middle. Inadvertent click and all your work in that tab is gone.

A 10-15 second tab re-open doesn't negate the browser's security goals.

The ads didn't play in previous version. Maybe YT found a way around the block.

In chrome I manually created a search engine that goes to https://%s, so it doesn't send searches to the internet.

Too often I type a URL or ip address in the address bar and Epic sends it to a search page. I want 404 if there is a problem. My $0.02 is this design is a security problem. The browser is deciding to send data to a search engine without my consent.

If I want to search I open a search page.

Yes, chrome spell checker goes through Google.

Other options? Proxy the spell checking or epic spell extension

Last resort is let the user decide. Warn them everytime they start the browser, but let the user decide.

#16 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Help & Troubleshooting » How do I manually upgrade epic browser? » 2017-04-16 16:01:58

I posted this because autoupdate does not work for me.

Is there a log for autoupdate or a way to manually kickoff the update?

I've been using epic browser for a couple of years and epicupdate has never worked for me.

How do I manually initiate the update process?

Can you provide IPs or server names that epicupdate uses for updates?
