Sorry Alok, one of my sentence wasn't clear enough:
> We should worry about a browser that's based on Chromium that's totally flawed: it spies on you.

I didn't mean: "Epic Privacy Browse spies on us"

I meant: "Epic Privacy Browse is based on Chromium. Chromium spies on people. So, we should worry about any browser based on Chromium."

Perhaps you could have used Midori as a webkit browser base and make it better, add further privacy functions, add useful extensions. Midori is much faster than Chromium and a more trustworthy base to work on.

Hello Sathi,

I don't think you really answered c4334013's message.

We are right to worry about privacy since you didn't choose a free GNU-GPL compatible licence for your fork of Chromium. I know Chromium licence is a mixture of licences.

We should worry about a browser that's based on Chromium that's totally flawed: it spies on you.

We should also worry about a browser that is primarily made for non-free backdoor-riddled OS : Windows and Apple.

If you had made a GNU/Linux brower version, chances are your code would have been seriously looked into and audited.
