Epic: Chromium based privacy browser

[bill]

Spotted this today: http://www.epicbrowser.com/

It's a browser that runs on Chromium, but it has all the privacy turned up to 11. I can't see using something like this for everyday browsing, but it might be a nice tool for the arsenal.  This doesn't anonymize you like Tor, but it keeps all the tracking tidbits away.

Interesting... and educational. I didn't even know about evercookies.

evercookies have been around for a few years. They're evil.

Supposedly a browser like this might reduce your browser fingerprint. You can't modify it much, so to the people trying to identify you would only see you were using Epic.

WOW, they sound like a virus, creating copies of themselves and reproducing if any are missing.....
