Surf The Web In Stealth Mode with Epic, The Privacy Browser

Being followed is no fun. It’s actually kind of dangerous.

Now, thanks to the Epic Privacy Browser from Hidden Reflex, you don’t have to worry about being followed; on the web that is.

This Chromium-based browser keeps your data safe by blocking tracking scripts and online advertisements. That means that you’re information is not being stored and then sold to advertisers.

I bet you didn’t even know that was happening, did you?

The average webpage might have four tracking ads, while others have up to 40. But Epic is trying to block is refer data. This privacy browser won’t keep cookies, save your history, employ autofill or store any of your information. Once you close the browser you information will vanish.

The best part is that all of the steps taken to increase privacy also increase load time up to 25%.

So now you can surf faster and don’t have to worry about being followed.

Thanks, Epic.

In the story, Winston, the protagonist is a low-ranking member of London’s ruling Party in the nation of Oceania. Wherever he goes, even in his own house, Big Brother, the leader of the party who seems to be omniscient, sees his every move in telescreens. To make matters worse, everywhere he looks he sees Big Brother’s face.

What does this story got to do with our infographic; and, our present situation? The above plot could be an exaggerated version of the circumstances, we, as a people, have unwittingly dragged ourselves into. Yes, we want more technological advances, and faster modes of communication; but, in the process, whether we like it or not, we have molded a kind of state resembling 1984's plot.

I urge you to seriously study the infographic published by Wordstream below, and tell me what you think.
