I like it, but can you at least add Startpage/Ixquick and DDG as options for search engines? Options are good and people might not use it without having those options.

@spolu, we do block fb widgets and such...but a like link should work. You can via our "umbrella button" allow third-party cookies on any website.

You should use the reply link directly below the comment you're replying to. This helps keep things organized :)

This is a nice initiative, but I would like to see the source code of this browser. Without it, I cannot be 100% sure that what Epic devs say is true and it's not an elaborate NSA trick to get our data :). No hard feelings, just in the light of current events as reported by NY Times/Guardian about NSA backdooring popular apps and crypto implementations the paranoid inside me has gotten more active lately.

Additionally it's based on Chromium, so there's not much source code to hide as many of us have a good idea of what the source code would look like.
