Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.2
GPA, above 12 of the 25 other browsers we grade
Epic Privacy Browser is a free browser from Hidden Reflex, built on Chromium with Google's tracking removed. It blocks ads, third-party cookies, fingerprinting and cryptomining by default, and works with Chrome extensions. The site links Android and iOS apps, and its FAQ mentions Windows and Mac versions.

You install it and browse, with the blocking already on.
- 1
Best for a free browser that blocks ads and trackers by default

- 2
It is free
Epic Privacy Browser has no paid plan at all. Epic is free. The FAQ says the company earns money from its default search partner and from subscribers to its EpicSearch.in search engine, not from ads or data sales.
- 3
It runs on 4 platforms
Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
- 4
Ad and tracker blocking
A custom uBlock-based blocker with extra filter lists, plus third-party cookie blocking on by default.

The report card
Best for a free browser that blocks ads and trackers by default
Epic is a free Chromium browser with an ad and tracker blocker and third-party cookie blocking switched on. Its App Store listing says the VPN is no longer supported even though the description still mentions one, and the site says the default updater was removed.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free outright, with no paid tier, and the US App Store listing shows no in-app purchases. A program anyone can download and run. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Nothing to pay for: the whole browser is free on all four platforms. |
| Features | C | Ad and tracker blocking, fingerprinting protection and Chrome extension support. The listing shows gaps: the VPN is no longer supported, and with the updater removed you may have to download new versions by hand. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. You install it and browse, with the blocking already on. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. No Linux version is listed, and the list of integrations is thin. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Epic Privacy Browser is for
- Fits if you want ads and trackers blocked without installing extensions
- Works for people who already use Chrome extensions and want to keep them
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a working VPN: the App Store listing says it's no longer supported
- Watch out: the updater was removed, so updates may mean downloading new versions yourself
- Not for you if you use Linux, as no Linux version is listed
- Watch out: the company earns money from a default search partner and a paid search engine, and its comparison table is the vendor's own

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Epic Privacy Browser is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could make
- Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A web browser.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Epic Privacy Browser’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
