#1 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Other Feature Requests & Ideas » Bring back extensions for the privacy risk-takers » 2014-02-12 02:35:22

I just want to weigh in on the whole extension issue. I would be using Epic as my main browser if not for the whole "No extensions" thing.
My biggest issue is that I cannot use Adblock with Epic at all. I realize that *some* plugins/extensions track or otherwise violate privacy in some way, but with no way to block ads (some of the absolute worse offenders) I cannot use Epic .
It seems to me that blocking ALL extensions for the sake of a few bad actors is overkill. At the very least, make it an option for power users. Something, maybe a checkbox with a HUGE warning, or an additional module to download that turns on extensions for those that want them. Not giving the user a choice is a show stopper for me, and I'm sure a lot of others.
