I don't see the ads on the Google Search page or any other Google page, just on the first Gmail page where you enter your Username and password. I can't seem to get a screenshot, but here's a text-only copy of what I see with EPB:

Webmail Ad Blocker blocks 3 images shown on EPB, and much of the above text.
On the other hand, the images take time to load, so if you click quickly on Sign in (as I've been doing with EPB) you won't see them at all....

@Zatris -
Yes, "there are several add-ons that will work. Adblock Edge is one that I use."
But those are Firefox extensions, and Epic is now a Chromium-based browser, with its own adblocking mechanism which works quite well, even with Gmail, except for the sign in page with a couple of ads. Webmail Ad Blocker is a chrome extension which takes care of that.

To do a search, you need not go to the epicsearch.in start page. You can just go to any page in Epic, type your search entry in the address bar, and Epic's inbuilt search engine will take it from there. Works for me, and I never see the download epic now box.

You guys are really responsive - thanks!
On Referer Control - if you'll be improving your blocking list soon, that would be enough for me. It would save people a lot of time messing with settings and so forth.
When signing in to Gmail, I notice there are a couple of ads on the login page that Epic doesn't block. There's an app for that:
Webmail Ad Blocker 3.2.1 cbhfdchmklhpcngcgjmpdbjakdggkkjp\3.2.1_0
This removes the ads and sponsored links and squeezes out the empty space left behind by other ad blockers to give you more room to write your message

Alok, you rock! I really like Epic, and have made it my default browser, with global proxy enabled.
FWIW, here's a list of 5 privacy extensions from a chromium-based browser for your consideration:
Disconnect 5.7.1 \jeoacafpbcihiomhlakheieifhpjdfeo\5.7.1_0
G Disconnect 1.6.6 \kglfocodeikakacbeoajjhnplhlaoook\1.6.6_0
Referer Control 0.47 \hnkcfpcejkafcihlgbojoidoihckciin\0.47_0
Tab Cookies 1.0.5 \iahecghojagkcoehfhfknajofkokndjm\1.0.5_0
Window Name Eraser 2 \gabihlffdejcbdmbceagmnnnlopcfmob\2_0
Hope this helps!
