, specially the app for uploading files to Ur gamil. Nice work. Only the default look of the browser needs to be more cleaner and after that it would look more elegant and professional

mr. dinesh, if you go to any mail box via/thru epic browser, you will find the language selection everywhere, incl. your mail box, chat box etc. just select the language from the drop box, tick in the small square box besides it and start chatting / writing in the language of your desire. just type in english, for eg. aap kaise ho? and it will translate itself the moment you press space bar. Try it out.

[...] released their new versions to support HTML 5 features. Many new browsers came into picture like Epic browser from India. There are lot of happenings in web technology around us in this [...]
This is a markedly Indian browser, unlike Indian customisations on other browsers. I found it quite well researched. Of course, one has to make some compromises to achieve some new functionalities but this one maintains is a good balance.
