Hi, Can you repost your post,
No.
we wouldn't do any censorship,
Funny, you just did.
May be we should have removed assuming it as a spam.
Yeah, right!
My post in response to the OP of http://forum.epicbrowser.com/viewtopic.php?id=431 was unceremoniously cut without notification or motivation.
So you don't like people pointing out the consequences of using the Epic browser for all to see, eh. Who the fuck do you think you are cutting/censoring other's opinions?
Cut or censor one more post and I will make it my mission to destroy Epic!
We're focused on more privacy in the browser right now than at the network level for the present.
IRL that means that if ONE Epic user gets blocked from accessing a particular website then ALL Epic users – including you – are immediately also blocked from accessing that particular website. I.o.w. the internet will effectively and inevitably be shrinking for Epic users. Every day more and more websites will become inaccessible to them if you don't solve the single proxy problem. Fast!
Which specific bank sites? We'll test them. Thanks!
Various large A-tier retail banks. Specifically. Three at last count.
So those accounts cannot be accessed by anyone incognito = if they use the Epic browser.
That is fine because I don't want just anyone, incognito, to access my bank accounts, thank you.
The fact remains, however, that those websites – and probably many others with similar strict security rules – cannot be accessed through the Epic browser although you claim that should be possible. I.o.w. those websites classify the Epic browser as suspect/untrustworthy/unsafe and consequently block access. Perfectly understandable from a bank's point of view.
Western European banks. Proxy on and proxy off.
Well, what do you expect? It's like walking upto a bank's cashier in a Batman suit with your proper driver's license ID offered. Nobody really knows it's really you under that gear but you sure stick out like a sore thumb and you can forget getting unobtrusive service!
Yes, you're incognito, but the whole world can SEE that you're incognito! That sort of defeats the object of the exercise, doesn't it?
Wish we could all afford to be as philosophical about it as you are, Alok.
Meanwhile: if ONE Epic user gets blocked from a website, ALL Epic users get blocked from that website. That adds up quickly.
That's a BIG real life problem, Alok. Epic's survival depends on it.
Usually any site that works for Chrome will work for Epic.
Nope!
Using Epic I cannot access the internet banking accounts that I CAN access with Chrome!
I would say that falls in the category of "usually any site" that people tend to use and rely on a lot IRL, don't you?
I understand why it happens. Lots of companies, banks, departments, agencies, secret services, nukeler laboratories, ICBM launch installations, etc. etc. need to know EXACTLY who you are before they give you access. DUH. You wouldn't want anybody else accessing your banking account, would you?
So if you use Epic, which obfuscates your online identity, they cannot make a positive identification of a 'trusted person' –> Access denied. Simple as that.
That's just the downside of using an incognito browser. Fact of life.
I'll see if I can live with the constant switching between browsers in daily life. But it DOES mean that Epic cannot become my default browser, of course. Another fact of life.
And if more people come to that conclusion Epic can never become a major browser.
the more people using one address,
the more people (Epic users) can't access websites that block that address...
the harder it is to track anyone.
So they block everyone using that address! ALL Epic users!
It is being rotated, but not that often.
Yeah, right. Not in the last 2 weeks it hasn't!
We're working with our proxy provider Spotflux to offer many more IPs that rotate. As Epic grows, it will happen.
That sounds awfully like 'mañana'...
But until that day Epic unfortunately does NOT fulfill its promise of free incognito browsing! Yet. The 'incognito' part works, if a little obviously to website 'administrators'. But consequently the 'browsing' part is not so hot, i.e. practical.
It seems that signing in my google account does not work.
It loads an empty page after I sign in.Any idea of what is going on ? thank you
When you registered your Google account using a 'normal' browser, Google also registered what IP address and what browser you used.
Now that you try to login using Epic you are incognito. I.o.w. the (Epic's) IP address and browser that you login with do not match with your username/password/IP address/browser combination that they have on file. That's why you don't get access.
You will probably find that you cannot access your internet banking account via Epic either...!
Most 'high security websites' recognize mainstream browsers only. And Epic is not mainstream yet.
But even if Epic became mainstream, it is doubtful those 'high security websites' would allow it to access their servers. After all Epic's main point is to BE incognito.
You've got to be kidding me! Epic uses only ONE proxy address! And that particular proxy address is well-known to many SysAdmins and forum Mods. So if they ban that sole proxy address there is no way to access that website again using Epic.
Epic ought to have a rotating 'bank' of proxy addresses – hundreds of them! – which auto-selects a different proxy every time you restart Epic. Exactly like Torbrowser does (https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en).
If Epic doesn't get a 'bank' of rotating proxy addresses it does NOT enable me to freely surf the web incognito. And wasn't that exactly the point of Epic...?
