India's first web browser 'Epic'
We all know about how difficult it becomes to make an impact in the global market for any new web browser, and thus it remains unknown in major parts of the world. But, on the other hand, such a web browser does make it big at the regional level, that is, the region where it belongs to. To justify this, we can consider the example of the Maxthon which has gained huge popularity in China, but till now it remains unknown to most in major parts of the world.
Bangalore based startup known as Hidden Reflex, has now announced the launch of its “Epic” browser, which is fully based on the Indian culture and tradition, and is aimed at making Indians proud all over the world. The browser is both feature-rich and secure and is expected to meet all the requirements a user would expect from a web browser.
Being the first web browser to have been made completely in India, Epic browser is based on the Mozilla platform, and has incorporated most of the features mainly with the Indian hues in mind. Before we get into the discussion about the browser, let us know the details about the company Hidden Reflex, which has brought forth this web browser.
Founded by the then U.S. based Engineer Alok Bhardwaj in 2007, the company is currently based in Bangalore. Initially they comprised of a group of only three members, but now they seem to have grown into quite a bunch of individuals who are working on two separate products. Epic was the first product to be worked on and has been launched, while the other one is still under development.
The Epic browser is highly customizable and after the first installation, you will notice the vibrant colours of it. It initially comes with a “Peacock” background which seems a bit uncomfortable for the eyes. With around zillions of backgrounds provided by the browser to choose from, this does not seem to be a difficulty. With the launch of the Epic browser, you shall be entitled to over 1500 themes to choose from, which are compatible and available for the Epic.
The Epic browser is provided with a sidebar which contains a host of applications and they can be launched from there. Some of these applications include Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Orkut, Jobs, Games, Travel and many more. With the click on any of these icons on the sidebar, a widget-like window will be launched at the side of the browser. One drawback is there though, that you can open only one such widget per window.
The Epic browser also features to be the first browser which has built-in anti-virus protection. The browser also supports a long list of Indian languages (currently 12) and an Indian content sidebar that shall aggregate news headlines, TV to live cricket commentary and other things that matters to all Indians. This also includes a bunch of productivity applications like a free word processor, video sidebar and my Computer Browser.
Go ahead and try the hues of India now!
