About us

The first Chromium browser built to protect your privacy.

Epic has removed all Google tracking and blocks hundreds of companies from tracking you, with extensive anti-fingerprinting protection and the Epic ad blocker.

Our vision

What you search and browse online should always be private by design.

You should not have to trust us with your data. Instead, we should not have access to your data to the maximum extent possible. For example, autofill in Epic is done via a local database, so Epic never sends what you type in the address bar to any server.

The company

Hidden Reflex

The Epic Privacy Browser is a product from Hidden Reflex, a software product company founded by Alok Bhardwaj with a development team based in Bangalore, India. Graham Holdings (formerly the Washington Post Company) and a small group of angel investors back us.
