#1 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Other Feature Requests & Ideas » Bring back extensions for the privacy risk-takers » 2014-02-21 15:48:34

I agree with weathertop in principle. I think, however, there is a case to be made for not allowing "trusted sites" to add on non-trusted entities to the their tracking. Just because I want to buy something at amazon, does not mean that I want them to know that I also price shopped at New Egg, etc. This is exactly what companies like Acxiom do.

I actually would like to be able to use Epic for everyday use. Last Pass is essentially the only thing I need to make that happen, though I am willing to switch back to keepass if that is the supported option.

The other thing I would really like to see is a more robust proxy &/or improved tor support.

Oh, and I would like to encourage everyone to send $10 or whatever you can to this team for this effort. This is a great project. Please release your source code soon, no offence, but without the source code you might as well be the NSA.

With the proxy turned on, every "What is my IP?" site returns my actual location. What is the proxy doing if my IP is still trivial to acquire?

As for the extensions, I completely understand why you would not want to include them all, but certain security based extensions are pretty useful. Here are a couple that I think improve internet security. If I am wrong, please let me know:
Last Pass - Generates complex passwords and auto-fills forms.
HTTPS Everywhere - forces url requests to be SSL
Tor Proxy - ensures tunneling through tor
