Trackers and Ads were driving me crazy. I found the simple solution last year, and have not had problems since.

I see as many as 400+ trackers being refused entry on my computer in a 2 hour internet session. Also stopped ransom ware. Hides my personal location, and you can change different locations all over the world to really drive those trying to track you crazy. Today I can be telling them I am on the East Coast USA. Tomorrow West Coast, and another day Canada, or England, etc., etc.

Does away with most adds. You can search for something to buy, and no longer having ads for that item on your computer.

Adds are not a big problem anymore. Not one political ad on my computer this voting season.

It is all due to changing my browser to https://www.epicbrowser.com/

It is a chromium based free search engine.

Gets great reviews. I'm going to try it. I tried one before, but it was so slow as to be unusable.

Apparently there is no home icon available. Unless I can figure out how to get one it's a deal breaker. Too bad. It's fast compared to the previous one.

Edit: Work around. Went to Google, saved it to bookmarks at the far left and edited the name to Home.

Works for me!

An easier way to block tracking. Block all third party cookies.
