Door Anoniem: Epic Browser? Helaas........
Now comes the bad part, I noticed that even when I am not running the Epic privacy browser there is a process in my Task manager called EpicUpdate.exe, this takes away memory resources and it really should not be there when the browser is not open. I decided to investigate a little further while the prowser was still closed and looking at the folders located in AppData/Local/EpicPrivacy Browser/User Data/Local Storage I found various files named chrome-extension_(cryptic).localstorage, one of the files was over 100Kb in size so I decided to open it up, it appears that the right way to do this is a SQL viewer but I used Notepad and inside I found a list of the websites that I had visited the day before, so much for privacy! I have now looked at that folder again with the Epic privacy browser running and I see files being created that contain the name of the URL I visit (in the form of http_www.site.com.localstorage), these files are temporarly written to the hard drive otherwise I would not be able to see them, they are deleted afterwards but it won’t be difficult for a noisy person to uncover them again using any cheap undelete software.
What started as a good review ends up like a total disaster for the Epic privacy browser, stay away from them, if there is something worse than no security that is false security, believing you are safe when you are not. For some reason Incognito mode writes data to the hard drive, it should not happen. - See more at: http://www.privacydusk.com/windows-privacy/epic-privacy-browser-review-shows-data-leaks/#sthash.hTOXpthu.dpuf
Eerder een Epic fail dus. FF is nog steeds the way to goo, maar dan wel met Adblock Plus, Noscript en Ghostery. De laatste moet je wel in de gaten houden want ofschoon de auto update bij mij uitstaat worden geblokte zaken, met name t.b.v. Adobe, stiekum weer aangezet. Best onbetrouwbaar dus, maar zolang je er alert op blijft dan biedt Ghostery nog best een goede bescherming.
