I understand epic requires funding to work, but tying us into one search engine (yours) is not optimal.
For example, could you allow inclusion of Duck Duck Go?
https://duckduckgo.com/privacy
I feel Duck Duck Go has improved searching and privacy policies to epic search (at this stage).
You should include checksums of your download files on the download page, so users can check for themselves that the checksum matches what they downloaded (no man in the middle attack).
I'd like to see a feature that allows me to restrict the amount of content a website loads.
For example:
1. User requests website cnn.com
2. Browser should allow configuring accepting content from *.cnn.com and cnn.com/* in loading that page
3. Browser should allow configuring blocking content from third party sites - eg. cnnaffiliate.com in loading that page
This is not about blocking ads or 'tracking' - it is about blocking off-domain or off-site content.
It prevents companies or conglomerates that share data with each other. So, if I go to cnn.com, the browser should only load CNN content, not content on another domain just because the cnn.com website has embedded it.
This is especially useful where javascript is involved. I need javascript on for the browser to be functional - but it is not cool for some script to then load ads (which the adblocker should stop) or content on other domains that could be used to track me (but not as an ad, or a specific tracking device).
Why does Epic Browser turn on "Do Not Track Me" and only remember settings at a site level?
I don't want Epic telling any websites not to track me. Doing so actually (by definition) sends some information about me to the website. The best way to deal with this from a privacy perspective is simply don't load any tracking elements at all (radio silence) and never send ANYTHING to websites or advertisers that you don't need to.
Suggestions to improve:
1. Please turn off "Do Not Track Me" by default (or remove it altogether as nobody trusts advertisers to respect opt-outs)
2. Please allow me to set "Do Not Track Me" settings globally - not on a per site basis.
3. Set some "design principles" for your browser that you should adhere to for all decisions and get community input
An example strawman (Design Principles):
1. Design for security over usability (OK to 'break' a website loading, if doing so would compromise privacy of the user)
2. Never send personally identifiable data to anyone without user consent
I am another user who requires lastpass extension to be enabled to make use of this browser.
I know you want the browser to be 'epic' and very private - but disabling extensions preclude users from deciding what features they need in the browser.
If you want the browser to make a difference, make it open and extensible, and let people decide how they want to use it. A tightly locked down browser is not very useful to most people.
