Bangalore based startup Hidden Reflex has announced the launch of its browser "Epic", which aims at making Indians all over the world proud

Epic, which also happens to be the first entirely Indian made web browser, is based on the Mozilla platform and comes with quite a bunch of India centric features. We did take it for a short spin and we came out quite happy with it. Before we look at the details, let's look at details about Hidden Reflex, the company behind the browser.

The company was founded by the then U.S. based Engineer Alok Bhardwaj in 2007. However, the company is currently based in Bangalore. They initially had a team of three members and have now grown to quite a bunch of people who are working on two separate products. The first one, Epic, has already been launched. The other one is still in the making.

Epic currently supports 13 Indian languages including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Sanskrit, Oriya, Nepali, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Urdu. There's additional transliteration support for Arabic, Chinese, Sinhalese, Persian, Russian, and Greek.

 Epic also comes with anti-virus protection built-in - a first for any browser. It also supports a long list of Indian languages (currently 12) and an India content sidebar that aggregates news headlines, TV to live cricket commentary and other things that matters to us Indians. It also features a bunch of productivity applications that include a free word processor, video sidebar and my Computer Browser.

It includes a widget for ESET online virus scanner program. In addition to the safe internet surfing this also enables the user to scan full computer. Epic is equipped with WOT which warns user when they are about to visit some website that hosts malware.
