Hi there, I am trying out the browser for the first time.  I have two initial points -

I noted in the support information that it say

'On close of Epic, there's no easily accessible record of your browsing history left on your computer.'

Could you qualify what this really means ? Are you saying there is browsing history and it is hard but not impossible to acquire.  For any users in challenging environments, it should be clear exactly what the possibility of acquisition of the browsing history or other artifacts is.

My second point is this.  I never understood why there were no browsers which utilised a temporary encrypted disk and memory environment for the process to use.  This would seem to be the securest option of all.  The encryption could be entirely one way as the process memory/paging would never need to be decrypted after the browser process ended, the browser process can generate a random key for its own one time use.    For this reason I am always wary of any browsers that say they are secure and leave no history behind, because anything in memory of a process can be recovered - either from main memory or from memory pages on the disk.  Interested to hear thoughts/replies.

Regards, SH
