Its a 'referral marketing' scam tool technique that's been polished up to look all bright and shiny to take advantage of 'privacy' paranoia. The more that use it the more money they make.

Its not really a 'privacy' browser and is 'misrepresented' by its creators (Hidden Reflex) to take advantage of 'privacy' paranoia so as to get as many to install it as possible so they can make a buck from the personal privacy information they collect from the users of the Epic browser. Saying these things for the Epic browser as a means to support the perception that it is somehow a 'privacy' browser is deceptive misrepresentation. Saying there is no "Canvas" fingerprinting, WebRTC issues, no history, and a myriad of other things claimed for the Epic browser is like saying because one marble is removed from a jar of 100 marbles it means there are no more marbles in the jar. The exclusion of "Canvas" fingerprinting does nothing to prevent browser fingerprinting techniques from being used nor does it prevent use of other techniques for collection of other personal privacy information collected through use of the Epic browser.
These other techniques still exist and are used, they do not suddenly vanish because the Epic browser might not include the HTML5 "Canvas" fingerprinting capability. For those that do not know, "Canvas" fingerprinting is only one of a number of, what is called, browser fingerprinting techniques for tracking online users that allows websites to uniquely identify and track visitors using HTML5 canvas elements instead of other techniques. SpotFlux is able to extract the real ISP IP address, even if one is on a VPN, from the connections through their proxies and connect it to the proxy provided IP address as in 'ISP-assigned-IP' = 'SpotFlux-driven-proxy-IP'.

The Epic browser uses a version of the 'free' access to proxies which SpotFlux provides to its users of the free use of the SpotFlux vpn, SpotFlux tells you on their web site they collect personal privacy information from the users of the 'free' side of their service. Hidden Reflex, the creators of the Epic browser, has an agreement with SpotFlux that allows SpotFlux to also collect personal privacy information from users of the Epic browser. It has nothing to do with it because their proxy provider can still collect that IP information when one passes through the proxies used by the Epic browser, proxies designed to have the capability to collect such so their proxies provider (SpotFlux) can also make a buck from personal privacy information collection. What do you think they make a commission from? They make that commission from the collection of personal privacy information collected which includes the use history and searches from users of the Epic browser.Ĭlaiming there is no 'WebRTC leak' issue with the Epic browser is deceptive misrepresentation. Spotflux tried opening a popup window to point me to an opinion survey, but, since I have popups blocked, it didn't bother me.There is indeed a 'history', its the personal privacy information they collect. I could easily close the ad and continue surfing. I could also see a small ad displayed on the bottom of the screen. The program launched a Web browser and displayed the Welcome to Spotflux message.
There was nothing to configure and nothing to click on or type. When the process finished, it launched Spotflux, and automatically connected me to Spotflux servers. I downloaded the installer file from the Spotflux website and began the installation. Getting StartedSpotflux Free is one of the easiest-to-use VPN programs I've reviewed. If the destination site is not using HTTPS, that part of the connection remains unencrypted, and attackers can use complicated timing algorithms to intercept and identify data at that point. However, data is protected only in transit. Like other VPN services, Spotflux is not intended to replace my corporate VPN to log into my work-related applications, but it can still be useful for protecting my overall online activity. When I looked at the network traffic via Wireshark, I saw my online traffic was encrypted.
