New in Epic: See Who’s Spying on You in Firefox, Chrome, IE & Safari
Fasten your seatbelt. You’ve probably noticed hundreds of tracking attempts blocked everyday as you use Epic via the counter at the bottom of the new tab page. In the latest version of Epic, you can see the private companies who’ve been tracking you in your other browsers.
To see who’s been spying on you in your other browsers, open a new tab page in Epic (Windows: ctrl + t / Mac: cmd + t ), then at the left side in the center, there should be a small box: who’s been tracking you in your other browsers. Click there and see who’s tracking you in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE. We analyze cookies stored on your computer, so there may be more trackers using tracking scripts and other methods. Safari tends to support less tracking via their blocking of third-party cookies, a good step from Apple for privacy.
Let us know how many trackers you find — test users have found hundreds per browser.
I don’t see a small “who’s been tracking you in your other browsers” box.
Hi Dave,
Make the new tab page big and you can see as in this image http://s27.postimg.org/bwdkoj4o3/whoistrackingu.png

I have Mac Version 34.0.1771.0 (243083)
that’s the latest according to the update checker
No little window on the left side visible at any size
Can you specify the version/release/build/OS where the feature is expected to be seen?
Oh, just to double check — Mac, “About Epic” says I have
Version 34.0.1771.0 (243083)
When I click check for updates, it says
“Epic 2453 is currently the newest version available.”
Is “Version 34.0.1771.0 (243083)” equivalent to “Epic 2453” here?
Or is it confused about which version I have, or which update it should get?
Anyhow, no little window on the left side.
Also, still waiting for the new version/release/build that won’t crash when I quit.
No rush, appreciate the work, just saying what I’m seeing in case it helps.
I also can’t see the little thing that should be on the left side — current OSX Version 34.0.1771.0 (243083)
Thanks for all the good work that’s in Epic. But how do I make it list the trackers it’s blocked for each page? “Google plus 10 others” is not enough – how do I see what are the others?
I use Safari, which showed more trackers than Chrome:
“We found 195 companies storing data in Safari and tracking at least part of your browsing.
We found 23 data collectors in Safari tracking, saving and often selling your browsing.”
Wow!
Nice web browser i have ever use in term of security.
