Epic comes preinstalled with applications like Facebook, Orkut, Gmail, games, file Backup, My Computer, a to-do-list, maps and so on. Epic also features Built-in Antivirus, Malicious Website warnings, and Anti-Phishing Protection.

Epic is a privacy-focused web browser designed to protect users’ online privacy and security. Here are some key features and aspects of the Epic web browser:

Privacy Protection:

Epic browser blocks tracking scripts, cookies, and other trackers that websites use to monitor users’ online activities. It prevents third-party advertisers and websites from collecting data about users’ browsing habits.

Built-in Proxy:

Epic routes users’ web traffic through a proxy server, which hides their IP addresses and encrypts their data. This helps users browse anonymously and prevents websites from tracking their physical location.

Secure Browsing:

Epic employs HTTPS Everywhere, which ensures that users connect to websites via HTTPS whenever possible, encrypting their data and protecting against man-in-the-middle attacks.

Ad Blocker:

The browser comes with an ad blocker that blocks intrusive ads, pop-ups, and other forms of online advertising. This enhances the browsing experience by reducing distractions and speeding up page loading times.

Fingerprinting Protection:

Epic browser includes built-in fingerprinting protection to prevent websites from uniquely identifying users based on their device and browser configurations. This helps preserve users’ anonymity online.

One-Click Encryption:

Epic offers a one-click encryption feature that allows users to encrypt their browsing sessions with a single click. This encrypts all data transmitted between the user’s device and the websites they visit, enhancing security.

No User Data Collection:

Epic browser does not collect any personally identifiable information from users. It does not track users’ browsing history, search queries, or any other data that could be used to identify them.

Free and Open Source:

Epic browser is free to download and use. It is built on open-source technologies, and its source code is publicly available for scrutiny by security experts and developers.

Cross-Platform Compatibility:

Epic browser is available for multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
