Is Epic browser anonymous?
How does Epic store your data?
Epic's browser is an app that is used to browse the web, and is now being forced into being used as a store. The browser is being used to store data, and is being used to browse anonymously.
Epic Browser is being used for all of these things. When Epic releases their browser, it will be made available on all devices. One of those devices is the new Epic games store. In the Epic games store, you'll be able to browse anonymously. That is, you'll be able to browse and buy without having your IP address or anything else associated with you being visible to anyone. The browser will be used to browse anonymously, so if you're already using the browser, you'll be able to use it anonymously.
Epic games store browsing will be anonymous, but the browser is not. The browser, however, isn't being used for the Epic games store. This means that it isn't being used for the browsing of the games in the Epic games store. Instead, the browser is being used for the browsing of the web. When you visit a website, your IP address, browser details, and other information will be sent to the website.
That's a bit of a problem because the Epic browser doesn't anonymize your browsing. The browser is being used for other things. The Epic browser is being used to browse the web, but it's also being used to store your data.
Epic browser stores your data. According to a report from Kotaku, when you visit a website in Epic's browser, your data is being stored in a special place. This data is being stored in your Epic games account, and it's being stored even if you are not logged into your account.
This is bad news for users of Epic's browser, because this means that if you have a browser, you are giving Epic the ability to store data about you. This data includes your IP address, your operating system, and your browser. This information is not being stored when you are not using the Epic browser.
Epic is also being sneaky. Kotaku also reports that Epic is being sneaky about the browser. The Epic browser doesn't seem to be storing information about your browsing at all. Instead, it appears that it's only storing the information when you are actively browsing.
Is the Epic browser safe to use?
There's been a lot of controversy about the Epic Browser, in which Epic, a company that produces content for the Epic Games Store, built a web browser that's supposed to be more secure than any other browser out there.
After Epic announced the Epic browser on March 11, 2025, Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney said it could be used as a standalone web browser and that the Epic browser is safe to use.
Then on May 22, 2025, Epic Games announced that Epic, including its game-creation business, was shutting down, and that all Epic browser development would stop as well. Many people have interpreted this news as Epic stopping Epic Browser development.
However, Epic has clarified this news with us, saying that EpicBrowser.js has not been fully retired, and that Epic developers still have plans to continue working on the browser. The Epic Team has also revealed some of the reasons for Epic's decision to shut down Epic Browser development, as well as its future direction.
We have reached out to Epic for further clarification on the Epic browser, and will update this post when we hear back. What is Epic Browser? The Epic browser was first announced in March 2025 when Epic CEO Tim Sweeney explained that EpicBrowser.js, Epic's browser-based game engine, would become open source and be available under a permissive open source license. The open source code for the engine includes components that make up the Epic Browser.
Epic Browser is a standalone, web-based browser that enables users to play Epic games on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. Epic uses the Epic browser for the same functionality that Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer use: playing games and browsing the web.
If you go to you'll see the Epic browser listed as the only one in your list of browsers (the other two browsers are Chrome and Safari). In contrast, if you go to there are two Top Level Dom objects, one of which is named EpicBrowserTopLevelObject. To use Epic Browser, you just need to add a script tag for EpicBrowser.
What browser does Epic use?
Epic Games uses Chrome.
Why use Chrome? Epic has spent a lot of time and energy optimizing our own code to work on Google's browsers. The Chromium project is open source and is used by a large number of browsers. We have not been able to find a browser that works better than Google's Chrome.
How can I help? Epic has a GitHub issue tracker and welcome pull requests and other contributions. You can also help us by spreading the word. Tell your friends about us and what we're doing!
