EPIC browser – the first-ever web browser by India for India !!!

Epic Browser : The first Anti virus Web Browser launched 


Epic Browser

Hidden Reflex, a Bangalore – based software startup has launched the first browser targeted at Indian audiences named EPIC. The browser created by a dedicated team of Indian engineers is built on the popular open – source Mozilla platform. Any internet user can now download the browser for free by logging on to the website www.epicbrowser.com.
The specialty of the browser is the sidebar feature which supports Indian content and includes the option to write and create documents in twelve regional Indian languages. Epic enables users to access the latest national and regional news from popular publications and television channels in its sidebar and also provides latest updates on stock markets, live cricket scores and local events in the city. Further, users can choose from 1500 + customized Indian themes and wallpapers provided in the browser ranging from national monuments to famous Bollywood movies.
The unique feature of EPIC is the free built –in antivirus, the first time ever for a browser in India. It would benefit Indian users to save money by performing regular virus scans on EPIC for free. Every file downloaded on EPIC would be automatically scanned. Further, the user would be given an option to manually scan the system or individual folders for any virus and any infections found would be healed completely.
During the launch Ms R Rajalakshmi, Director, STPI said “At STPI, we encourage small and start-up companies to use our infrastructure to build new and innovative applications. We must utilize the large talent pool available in India and develop our own innovative products. I hope to see more technologists catch up to the entrepreneurial spirit.”
According to Alok Bhardwaj, CEO and Founder of Hidden Reflex “We’re excited to introduce a uniquely Indian browsing experience that we hope will reach and resonate with every citizen in the country. As an organization, we foresee huge growth in internet usage in India considering the low current penetration. Our focus with Epic is making it easy enough to use for first time web users and still powerful enough to be essential for advanced users.”
Epic is the first browser to have built a suite of sidebar applications to improve multi-tasking and productivity. Pre-installed applications include communication apps for Facebook, Orkut, Gmail and more, entertainment apps such as a Picture-in-Picture Video Sidebar and Games, and utilities like File Backup, My Computer, a To-Do list, and Maps. Over 1500 user-installable applications are also available to the end user for free.
