Epic - New Indian browser based on Firefox's engine

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Me neither. It sounds all nice on the features etc. but it doesn't have the simplicity / ease of use FireFox provides.

Downloaded and installed it and disliked it. There's just way too much crap on the screen.

Agree. I am one of those who prefers a minimalistic screen.

Regardless the developers of this thing have done a good job.

What is the OS requirement for this new browser? Will it work on Win98SE?

 

[m_vaughan]

I am not sure if Firefox works on that as well.

You have Windows 98 SE? Oh boy!

Wow! Are you a Win98SE loyalist or what?

What Epic has done is now develop a liking for Firefox. Epic needs more work. I agree with sohum and those who agreed with him, in that it gets cluttered with lot of stuff onscreen (for me, it was new but after sometime I too started feeling the clutter).

I am now onto Firefox 3.6.6 and its awesome! With IE on Windows 7 Home Premium, many times the browser kept crashing (most of the time when I close the browser). And Firefox has almost everything that Epic has (though the skins are not Indian, there are really good skins with Firefox too). So till Epic release their next version, I am now with Firefox 3.6.6. Firefox should thank Epic for that!:laugh

I am still sticking with IE8.

I would try IE8 if it didn't crash every time I browsed to a new page. Out of the box.

 

[m_vaughan]

I've heard that but personally I don't think I have experienced more than 3-4 crashes since I upgraded to IE8.

Ofcourse I don't like or run all those additional add-ons, extensions or webslices or whatever it is you call them. Just my Internet Security's Page Rating and Wi-Fi advisor. Like I said before - minimalistic is how I like it.

Firefox 3 dumped support for Win 98, it is more than likely this hideous looking browser is based on Fx 3. Your best choice for browser is probably Opera, which I believe is the only one still being developed at least slightly with 98 in mind.

Firefox has been behaving very poorly for some time for me. I will try version 4 to see if gives improvements.

What OS you use? I have just switched to Firefox 3.6 (some 3 days back) and its like a charm for me. Fantastic experience!

Its same everywhere. Office or home.

I may well get back to IE based browser like Avant.
