I'm confused by the following that i found in https://www.epicbrowser.com/FAQ.html
Q:
"Should I log into Gmail when I use Epic?"
A:
"If you’re doing searches via Google in Epic, then we would strongly recommend you not log into Gmail while using Epic. Google’s new privacy policy allows it to aggregate your personal data across all its services. So if you’re logged into Gmail, then Google can track your searches."So does this mean that Epic recommends that I not use Gmail at all?
Or does it mean that I should never use Google Search?
Or never use Google Search while in Epic?
Same question for Google Calendar, Google Drive....
I use SRWare Iron as my backup browser. Only for emergency use if Epic dies & for anything where privacy is not a concern. All Google apps spy on the user & report back to Google. Even after you opt out. True that. LoL Google it!
In Epic I open GMail to check for new mail then I close it. My main mail client is Hotmail. Another spy but works even with blocks in place. I DO NOT use Google search. I use Startpage as my default.
GL & God bless.
I use Startpage Web Search. I see we are locked out of setting up a default search engine in Epic. I have replaced G-Chrome browser with Epic.
You can set up the pages that start when you start Epic. I have already done this. Startpage Search USA, Startpage Search Euro, Hotmail.com, GMail.com, Yahoomail.com & TitanTV. These are my start pages. I close the GMail & Yahoomail after checking for new mail. Hotmail is my main & remains open. I can search over & over using my search engine protected by Epic browser page.
It is quite easy. Obtain your search engine's URL. Add it to Settings start page window. Works for anything with a URL.
I agree. Epic default is very limited & strange.
Good luck & God bless.
I exported my G_Chrome bookmarks & imported into Epic via Html file. The icons are blank pages. Why? Is a fix in the works?
I just tried to save a new bookmark. I have my own filing system set up via folders. Why are they not shown as options as to where to save a new bookmark? Bookmark Bar shows them all. Bookmark manager shows them all. G-Chrome star shows them all. Epic star only shows 2 options even after I click "Choose another folder...". Why? Is a fix in the works?
A ton of new users commenting in this forum. Almost no activity indicating staff reactions via answers. Why? Is a fix in the works?
I was up last night installing & rejecting browsers until 7:00 am. I loathe MS browsers. I loathe Google. I loathe ads, popups, self-starting video, hijackers, injectors, trackers, miningware, ransomware, spyware & Googleware... Tested various browsers for ease of use, simplicity & privacy/security...
All failed until I installed Epic. Liked Brave a lot but actual functional use is at least a year behind where Epic is at today. Firefox Q is so complicated & cluttered. Their bookmarks a huge disappointment. Feature setup very disorganized. All over the page. A failure that seemed to go with the forks as well. Except Epic. Iron is way too chummy with Google. China/Russia closed projects? No thank you.
Epic is a very good start. I visited some sites I knew were huge popup, adware & even mining/ransomware sites. I have many security measures in place that protect my system from attack. I wanted to see how Epic reacted. G-Chrome allowed me to add-on several apps that provided protection & blocking for the entire time I used that browser. Epic stopped some ads & tracking. Malware page popups were not stopped & at least half of the ads remained. Do you test? I could send you a list of URL's & add-ons that stopped them.
I am going to continue to use Epic as my main browser for now. I will also continue to follow the progress of Brave.
For now, bookmark icons & adding new bookmarks via "Choose another folder..." are faults. I know your position is privacy over security & free user choice. So add-ons are a sore spot. Maybe a umbrella white list option of some sort for their use? Or sandbox their spy/report back capabilities? Or let them have phony info access to report back? Just thinking out loud.
Some kind of communication flowing back to us? History logs/lists of specific activity, fixes, wishes & bugs?
IMHO a very good start. Google continues to try & lock out all others. Their last update screwed up the practical use of even their own browser. I could not access some pages inside Navy Federal Credit Union. All rendering slowed by 25% to 50%. More bloat. They did not or would not respond to users either. I have Iron for emergencies & Epic for every day use. G-Chrome is gone. Will see how much progress Epic & Brave will make in the foreseeable future. Epic is very close to "perfect" for me.
Thank you & God bless.
