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.
