Hi, Epic Filter also blocks ads.  Whenever you see ads, please try restarting the browser.  Let us know if that works -- Epic should block ads!  Thanks for your support.

does epic do any of this or protect against it?

Thank you for asking this. Yes, these are very few things what you listed.

The following Google Chrome features are not present in Iron:[14][15]
RLZ identifier, an encoded string sent together with all queries to Google[16] or once every 24 hours.
Google search access on startup for users with Google as default search[16][17]
Google-hosted error pages when a server is not present

We block all unnecceary requests that go to Google Servers. Epic is our default search. We do not even maintain logs on our server.


EpicUser75 wrote:

A unique ID ("clientID") for identifying the user in logs.

A timestamp of when the browser was installed.

We remove all the browsing data of user as soon as he quits. You can see this by identifying %LOCALAPPDATA% of Epic browser under directory. Also we do not use any of the file from users %LOCALAPPDATA%


EpicUser75 wrote:

Google Updater automatic installation.

No harm with this as of now as we are committed to users privacy. However we are trying to make update manual in windows as well.
In Mac or OSX , it is currently Manual update itself.

EpicUser75 wrote:

DNS pre-fetching,[18] because it could potentially be used by spammers.[19][20][21]

We have disabled this. Not only this, We disabled even translations, spellchecks or any service that hits Google servers

EpicUser75 wrote:

Automatic address bar search suggestions.

This is local in Epic. We made a list famous websites and we have put the data local to your system.

EpicUser75 wrote:

Bug tracking system, sends information about crashes or errors.

We have disabled this too.

What we have removed safe browsing (the same api is used by Safari, Google Chrome and even Firefox ), which also hits Google servers.
We do not show any kind  data on your history page or any chrome-urls.

We made sure that there are no leaks of user privacy data.

Adding to this what we provide is, We always block third party cookies and ad trackers. We pass do not track header to all the sites. We give option for user to enable and disable plugins, if anyone fears plugins are leaking any data, they can disable this via umbrella button and on click proxy integrated, there by user can anonymize their IP location


You can test all our claims using wireshark (Windows) or tool like littlesnitch(on Mac OS)

Hi filofox,

It could be the same old one. Just uninstalling would not remove the old installer. You need to remove even the updater too.
For removing that you need to type %localappdata% and delete all files under Epic Privacy Browser, then install the new one.

Here is the blog about it http://blog.epicbrowser.com/?p=16


Thank You

Please uninstall that browser, also clear all Epic software by going to %LOCALAPPDATA% and download a new version of Epic.

That was our installer fault in our first release. We fixed that in new installers
