Any people here using the Epic Browser..


It seems to have some great features..


Automatically blocks Adverts & Cookies...


Bans extensions and clears history every time you close it.


Has built in antivirus and antispyware is powered by ESET (ESET is my AV of choice)


Powered by Firefox Open Source s/w.


Pros & Cons anyone ??

Hi there.. El Pibe .. What does that mean.. ?


I've downloaded it now anyway.. Nothing that exciting but does hide IP.


Tested to localhost and fails to connect with Global Proxy enabled..


PS Have been playing around with Python.. It was you that suggested that, was it not ?

indeed it was, how are you finding it?


just out of curiosity can you do a post here via epic. Do you have to log in every time you need to do anything to anything?

The idea that 'autocomplete is handled locally' seems to fly in the face of what it's doing.


Also even use of a proxy stull goes via your ISP, so I'm wondering what the gain is?


I was being flippant earlier, but really why would anyone go for this over anything else if it just means more hassle?

Python is interesting and simple to use.. Not having to declare Variable types.

Seems very versatile..


Found some good Tutorials from Bucky Roberts.. (he is a guy at The New Boston . USA ) and does tuts in several languages. Clever guy. C++ C# Perl Python Java javascript xhtml PHP MySQL.. 2,000+ Videos.


Have not got round to creating Executables as of yet. A lot more difficult than C++


Still, only doing for fun and keeping the old brain going before dementia finally sets in..

Yes you can post here with Epic..


You do have to put your userName and password every time as these are not saved...


Don't think I will be using it much. Probably will uninstall it to be honest.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
