Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 6, 2013 @02:40AM from the i-know-what-you-googled-last-summer dept.

Rob @CmdrTaco Malda writes "I've been advising Epic Browser, a startup building a privacy-focused, Chrome-based browser that starts where incognito mode ends. Epic employs a host of tactics designed to make what happens inside your browser stay there, to the tune of a thousand blocks in a typical hour of browsing. They also provide a built-in proxy service. If the corporations and governments are going to watch us, there's no reason to make it any easier for them. Epic has Mac and Windows builds for now. Their site goes into far greater detail about how they block tracking methods most browsers don't."

Based off Chromium, not Chrome. The first is open source.

I see nowhere on their site where the source code is available. That's just a scummy move.
