Have you tried epic browser?

The browser is compromised by the Chinese and the bogus VPN claims are there to lure the undesirables. Here's a secure browser with proxy option: https://epicbrowser.com/

Here is one https://epicbrowser.com/

Epic Privacy Browser is the way to go.

https://www.epicbrowser.com/

So how is startpage.com (acting like a proxy and therefore tracking you any better than Google tracking ?

I know what Google is going to do with the tracking.
I have no idea what startpage might do. Their Privacy policy is no more impressive then Google's.

There is also http://www.epicbrowser.com/ they beat google with google's own stick. (they support either a direct mode or a proxy mode, and you can switch with one click).

https://epic.org/ is EPIC, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a stalwart defender of online privacy. EPIC does not appear to have any connection to this browser. This so-called "epic browser" doesn't look like much more than Iron, which was merely a ploy to make money off of ads on the download page. I'm not saying Epic Browser is that same ploy, but the browser doesn't really do anything that Chromium doesn't already do in Incognito mode (most of those 11 potential privacy leaks that epic blocks are Google features not available in Chromium or else can be disabled trivially).

This introduces a potential lag time in security updates (and updates to trackers pulled in from e.g. adblock or noscript) and rides on EPIC's good name. Shame on the developers for naming it so similarly.

So what am I missing that makes Epic Browser worth a Slashdot post?

The founder of Slashdot sent it in.

Interesting that Washington Post is an investor:
