Epic Privacy Browser

Epic Privacy Browser v40.0.2214.91 on Windows 7

Epic Privacy Browser is a free web browser program which is focused primarily on user privacy. Rather than having a private mode which may be enabled, such a "mode" is always active. It blocks various ads and trackers, and also offers an integrated VNP/Proxy option, to connect anonymously to websites. This browser uses the Chromium engine, so it will generally load websites much like Google Chrome.

Advantages[edit]

• Privacy-Centric, ads and trackers are blocked^[1]
• Always in privacy "mode"^[1]
• Integrated VPN which may be toggled on and off^[1]
• Separate processes (threads) for each tab to provided added security and stability^[1]
• All Google tracking features integrated in the Chromium engine were removed^[2]

Disadvantages[edit]

• VPN may trigger extra authentication systems on some websites^[1]
• Numerous processes (threads) may consume more RAM (temporary system memory)
• Integrated ad-blocker may result is reduced functionality (some websites are designed this way to force visitors to view ads)
• Does not support external password managers,^[3] but does offer its own
• "Some websites don't work, or work strangely" and "Search engine skips some standard search modifiers" -PCMag^[3]
• Closed source, proprietary code (the public should not disassemble and view the source code)^[4]
• Updates are rarely released, and it runs an outdated version of Chromium (this may result is security vulnerabilities)
