"Epic Privacy Browser"
(1/1)
TaoPhoenix:
After Slashdot had its take on it a while back, I installed "Epic Privacy Browser".
But some disturbing things emerged.
Slashdot (with a couple of notes from me) reported that in too many places it was a cheap copy of Google Chrome, and thus solved nothing.
But today's note is sparked by something else.
It *keeps* putting shortcuts onto my desktop.
It's not yet clear what the exact trigger is. But NO other program I have ever seen, out of 100+ I have played with, does this. THAT'S Bad News.
So I haven't used it for much. I poked at it on days 1-4. But the fact it keeps putting icons on my desktop REALLY scares me ... for what was advertised as a "privacy oriented browser".

I guess you've never used Adobe (PDF) Reader. I can't tell you how many times I've had to remove the shortcut to that from the desktop after one of its myriad updates.
