About this app

The Epic Privacy Browser, the first-ever Chromium-based browser engineered to protect your privacy online, is now available on Android! The Epic desktop browsers have been rated excellent by PC Magazine, awarded 5 out of 5 stars (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) by CNET, and reviewed favorably in dozens of publications. Epic for Windows and Mac are used by millions of users around the world. Epic for Android is free with no in-app purchases.

Epic for Android includes many features:

✴ Built on Chromium for Speed and Security.

✴ File Vault. Encrypt any files you download or store on your Android device to protect your privacy.

✴ AdBlocker. Install it for free via the Epic Extensions store. Epic was the first browser to block cryptomining scripts and now offers that protection to Android users. Epic's AdBlocker blocks ads, trackers, cryptomining scripts, popups and more.

✴ Strict No-Logging Encrypted Proxy (VPN for the browser). Install our Proxy for free via the Epic Extensions store. Our Encrypted Proxy is essentially a free, unlimited VPN for the browser powered by hundreds of servers in eight countries including the United States🇺🇸, Canada🇨🇦, the United Kingdom🇬🇧, France🇫🇷, Germany🇩🇪, the Netherlands🇳🇱, Singapore🇸🇬 and India🇮🇳.

✴ Audio Queue. On the road? Going for a run? Add webpages to Epic's audio queue and Epic will read the articles to you. Epic is the first-ever web browser to use Android's text-to-speech support for this accessibility feature.

✴ Fingerprinting Protection. Epic blocks multiple fingerprinting techniques used by data collectors.

✴ Encrypted Connection Preference. Epic tries to connect to websites using an encrypted connection whenever possible.

✴ Always-On Private / Incognito Browsing. No browsing history.

✴ Easy Menu-based "Close All Tabs & Delete Data" Option.

✴ Granular, Site-Based Privacy Settings Controls. If a site isn't working, you can disable ad & tracker blocking (if you've installed adblocker) as well as other privacy protections. If a site is slow or questionable, you can disable scripts for a site (note this is an advanced setting that may suppress some or all site functionality depending on the website).

✴ Tracker Count. See how many trackers are blocked in your browsing sessions when the AdBlocker is installed (typically thousands!).

✴ Bookmark Support.

✴ Password Saving Support. Optional for sites of your choice.

✴ Reader Mode Button. Convert pages to text-only for easy reading.

✴ Built-in Video Downloader. Download videos from many websites (YouTube is not supported due to Google policies).

✴ Customized Dials on the New Tab Page. Set each dial on Epic's new tab page to one of your choice. No browsing history to report on your "most visited sites".

Try Epic. We think you'll love the faster, more private and convenient "Epic" browsing experience.

Epic has historically been one of the few if not the only browser to offer both security and comprehensive privacy out-of-the-box. Many other so-called privacy browsers often don't have an encrypted proxy built-in or use the TOR network which should be considered insecure as many nodes are run by hackers and other malicious agents. To configure other browsers for privacy often requires many untrustworthy extensions and multiple, complicated settings pages--all of which won't achieve the level of privacy to which Epic has been engineered.

We're proud to bring the same protections we've been providing for five years on PCs and Macs to Android users.

Ratings and reviews

The browser is highly security and useful, but it need some fix. First I didn't close the tab the site that I visited, so that I could come back but when I came to the app it's slow to run or mostly slow to connect, so I have to go to a "New Tab" and somehow the site that I visited got through. And second, the browser suddenly closed itself when I try to download an image on google, it somehow stopped working. I most likely to rate it 2.5 or 3...because it really need some fix.

Best browser I've used so far. Im keeping this one. Sleek interface, nice tools and functions, and decent search results. As far as I can tell, they actually care about your privacy, unlike other lying "private" browsers. UPDATE: Was working great, until a couple of days ago. Will not load any search results. I'm hoping it can be fixed because I really liked it. Reinstalled and still wouldn't work. UPDATE: Glad it's working again: I was using Google. Ew.

On the plus side, it's a smaller download than Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc. so it should be lighter on system resources. Helpful features like auto fill. On the negative, the selection of search engines is limited, only Yahoo and Epic's proprietary search. Worse, ad block turns itself off for no apparent reason and doesn't work well even when it's turned on. The latest update, installed 12/12/22, is worse than ever and I'm ready to give up.

What's new

There were some device-related issues with the previous update. This should fix those issues & work on all devices that support Android 8+.
