Click on the settings for the Epic Adblock in the Umbrella button and go to Advanced(lower right corner, icon that looks like gears.

There are blocklists for Ad Block under settings/filter lists/ and one list for Facebook. I'm not proficient with Adblock so perhaps someone who is could post.
There is also a forum here https://github.com/ryanbr/fanboy-adblock/issues.
Good luck!

If you click on command T, you get a new window, there are 15 spaces to add url's for I.E. "Duck Duck go" or any other choice. This is useful for users unaware of it. You may also go to settings/appearance/home button and enter "Duck Duck go" or any other choice.

I hope this will help! Good luck.

Read these search results although that is just one avenue to explore. Obviously something changed it's just a matter of trouble shooting.

Is the location of your download in your applications folder?
If it doesn't go in the app folder it may not function. Also turn your antivirus off to download as it may perceive Epic to be a virus.


Good luck

Did you have an update of your Windows 10 Pro OS or Epic browser recently? What version of Epic browser?

Is the location of your download in your applications folder?

#258 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Help & Troubleshooting » Epic Browser not clearing on close » 2021-07-19 17:24:29

It  is related to the Adblock/Ublock settings which are complex. It's probably really simple just annoying so far.

I find that disabling the Adblock in Extensions and quitting Epic takes it to zero. But sometimes restarting gives a disproportionate initial number.
You are right about the number.
Thanks!

If you like to experiment, tinker etc., disable the Epic AdBlocker or experiment with the settings as that is where the counter setting is located.  Deleting and reinstalling the Adblocker did work (remove the Trackers Blocked counter) but I don't  know why. Just make sure you save your settings, bookmarks, passwords etc.

I'm sure the talented Epic users will figure it out and repost it here.



Good Luck!

Hi, Yahoo Search is the only site that bypasses our proxy as per their requirements so that's why even using the proxy, you're seeing German results, sorry about that.

To get mostly English results in Yahoo search, please change the Yahoo settings.  At the bottom of the Yahoo search page, click on "Einstellugen" then click on "Sprachen" then select "Englisch" then click "Speichern".  That sets your language results to English and you should start seeing mostly English results.  I say mostly as when I tested it, many results were still oddly in German?!  But hopefully it's a lot better/more usable.

Epic search will not work in Vivaldi as it is a different browser. I am wondering which operating system you are using as it works in MacOS.
Use/try chrome://settings/search, or click on new tab (command T), a series of  mostly blank windows will show on the screen. Click on one one and enter the
URL for the search engine you wish to use. There are 15 windows on the MacOS version.

Check this post. https://forum.epicbrowser.com/viewtopic … 540#p68540. for further info and repost if you need further help.

#262 Re: General » Epic Browser for Linux? » 2021-07-18 11:49:41

Unfortunately no.
It has been discussed I believe but not implemented. I will forward it.

#263 Re: General » Epic Browser for Linux? » 2021-07-18 01:38:04

That was for Windows  and MacOS  Operating systems. Android is coming next month.
I hope this helps.

I noticed the same thing and have notified Alok & company.

Good observation, thanks!

#265 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Help & Troubleshooting » Not working Epic Privacy Browser » 2021-07-17 13:51:14

Windows 7 is being deprecated so I am sure that is your problem. Send Alok a request for a link to whatever  version you were using before. If applicable.

What is your operating system? Are you using a Chrome OS device?

Chromium no longer supports XP so the last few versions of Epic won't work on Windows XP...and the latest Epic probably won't work on Win7 .

These are some reasons that it may not function.

#268 Re: General » Epic Browser for Linux? » 2021-07-17 11:19:04

Not yet though you can use Epic on Linux via WINE.  We LOVE Linux but we probably won't be able to support a Linux-based Epic for some time, we're a small team so supporting 4 platforms is already a LOT of work.

Try  deleting your extension file or files and then reinstalling.

#270 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Help & Troubleshooting » Inaccessible sites. Latest EPIC Version 91.0.4472.124 » 2021-07-16 23:56:04

I can access it  through 
VPN  France and with Safari so I don't have an answer yet. It appears intermittently to be a server error.

Thanks for your input, we have talked about some of ideas you suggested, namely the Yahoo search.

If I'm not mistaken Tor does affect download speed but it is another privacy option although TOR  doesn't inform their users that it should not be considered secure as many nodes are run by malicious hosts if I am not mistaken.

You can know go to the Chrome web store and  download the app or something similar to what you mentioned depending on your preference.

I will refer your post to the mother ship!!!!

When the Epic search Window shows sign in, click on that enter your login/ password and check the "Check this box to stay logged into EpicSearch even after closing Epic and then click login.
That should do it.

#273 Re: Privacy News, Privacy Violations, Privacy Discussions » Can't open Epic Privacy Browser ( Uninstall & Install ) » 2021-07-16 12:25:00

Did you get an update? If so what operating system and what version of update?

#275 Re: Epic Privacy Browser - Help & Troubleshooting » Epic extensions » 2021-07-16 12:01:36

Try settings/advanced/reset Epic.  If that isn't successful quit Epic and reset extensions.

Repost if those don't work.
