Epic is a private, secure web browser that blocks ads, trackers, fingerprinting, cryptomining, ultrasound signaling and more. Stop 600+ tracking attempts in an average browsing session. Turn on network privacy with our free VPN (servers in 8 countries).

Comprehensive Ad & Tracker Blocking
Epic includes built-in protection against thousands of Tracking Scripts, Tracking Cookies & Other Tracking Agents, Ad Networks, Cryptocurrency Mining Scripts (such as Coinhive), dangerous Malvertising, and Third-Party Widgets.

Services such as address bar autofill are done locally in your system so your browsing never goes through our servers.

NO Data Collection. Unlike other tracker blockers & privacy tools, Epic NEVER collects, shares or sells any data from our users!

WebRTC IP Address Leaking Blocked
Epic blocks certain types of WebRTC calls that can leak your IP address, even if you're using an encrypted proxy or a VPN.

Referer header data not sent
Unlike other browsers, we don’t send data about search terms you’ve entered to other websites when you click on links from a search engine.

One-Click Encrypted Proxy
Epic's encrypted proxy when turned on hides your IP address and encrypts your browsing. DNS requests are also routed through the encrypted proxy. This protects your browsing history from your ISP, your employer, your government, data collectors, and other network snoops. It secures you when you're on public WiFi (WiFi protection). The encrypted proxy also lets you access websites that may be blocked or that offer different content by country such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Pandora, Spotify and others. Please note that plugins may leak your actual IP address. For stronger IP protection, disable plugins or set them to click-to-play in Epic's settings. All Epic users now can access our free VPN servers in the US, Canada, Singapore, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Do not track signal always-on
We request every website you visit not to track you. Don’t worry, we also actively block them from tracking you!

Fingerprinting Protection
Epic blocks dozens of tracking scripts that fingerprint you. Epic also blocks widely used fingerprinting methods such as accessing image canvas (which is why WhatsApp's desktop app doesn't work in Epic), font canvas, and audiocontext data. Epic blocks ultrasound signals which are sent from websites to be picked up by your mobile phone in order to coordinate tracking (no, we're not making this method up!). More fingerprinting protection is in progress. For maximum fingerprinting protection in Epic's settings, set Plugins to click-to-play or disable them.

Local Address Bar Auto-Complete
Epic auto-complete urls as you type them in its address bar via a database stored locally on your computer. Enjoy both great convenience and great privacy. Other browsers send what you type in the address bar to their servers or analyze your browsing history to make suggestions -- this means they know virtually every search you make and website you visit. We've designed Epic without web-based services for maximum privacy.
