Excellent privacy-focused Chromium-based web browser which includes a free web proxy in multiple regions, anti-tracking tools and permanent incognito private browsing mode.
Epic is a web browser that's based on the Chromium project, powered by the webkit rendering engine. It was designed for full privacy by removing all cookies and session data from the history once the application has been closed.
The look and feel of Epic is pretty similar to Google Chrome, supporting tabs, customization and other things common among most all Chromium-based browsers.
Epic Browser has several useful features up its sleeves such as proxy-based browsing which hides your IP address, do not track, blocking of third-party cookies as well as the ability to block advertisements.
As with Chrome, Epic fully supports multitasking by incorporating tabbed browser as well as offering the option to import settings and bookmarks from other browsers installed on the system such as Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Similar in mission to other privacy-focused browsers like Comodo Dragon, Epic goes that extra bit further by deleting history when you close it.
