Has anyone else had any experience with the Epic browser? I have been trying it out for the last few weeks and I really like it, So far it seems to block pop ups and auto videos very well. It has a built in VPN and you can chose the general location you are seen as coming from. Examples: Eastern US, Western US, Canada, UK, Germany, Netherlands, India & Singapore. I kind of have to stick to the English speaking countries as it defaults to the native languages, currency and news. Sort of using a Tor browser it is supposed to be the securest browser out there. One issue I have encounter is the local radar won't run but I guess that is the point of the browser not running auto play. Epic Browser

Oh...that's a nice radar and it will play on the Epic browser. Weather Underground radar gets stopped dead by the Epic browser. Thanks!

I use Firefox with some add-ons and have no pop-ups, no video ads, etc. I haven't seen a commercial on You Tube in several years. My wife doesn't use Firefox and has to sit through the ads.

I'd be a little suspicious of a "built-in VPN". Probably just me though..
To block ads/popups try 'privacy badger', it's a browser plug-in. Someone mentioned it here on simGQ and it's golden.

Tried to use Epic to connect to my Netflix account to see if I could spoof being in the UK and access programming not available in the US. No joy.

It's the icon in the upper right-hand corner beside the umbrella icon. I tested it on Absolute Radio from my vivaldi browser i am blocked from listening live. When I go through Epic set to the UK proxy it gets me to the login screen to sign in. With vivaldi I get this when clicking on Listen Live: https://player.absoluteradio.co.uk/geo/With Epic I get this after clicking Listen Live: https://absoluteradio.co.uk/account/?action=rpregister&url=http%3A%2F%2Fplayer.absoluteradio.co.uk%2Far%2F

I use Duck Duck Go as my default search engine, and have Privacy Badger and Bluhell Firewall 2.7 running on Fire Fox. To get rid of You Tube commercials I have AdBlocker for You Tube.
