Brave Browser to launch a fully decentralized vpn

[Judge-Dredd]

Good for them. I like how they're paying people for watching ads. They have a great business model and are really better than mainstream browsers. I hope they will succeed.

With VPNs it's not that easy to be good. You need good servers to handle the traffic and competitive prices. Free VPNs are usually awful and good ones are expensive. Brave's business model is to be as cheap as possible and help people. I wonder how they'll do with this new feature.

As of now Tor is integrated with Brave I believe (only on desktop version). If you click new private tab theres an option to use Tor as well. A private VPN would be a huge step in the right direction.

The ad payment feature is nice but it doesn't add up to much. I've heard from some platforms that advertised with Brave Ads that the results were disappointing which is probably a result of people click farming ads just for the $0.02 it pays.

Without these added features I use it just because it's awesome. Page load times are great. Still highly compatible with most websites even with the shields up. Think I've talked about 50 people in real life in to using it at this point.

Brave Browser give fantastic offer for every participants, I think is altcoin more amazing because have real product, how many altcoin always give promised have some thing big with their product but not real. For Brave Browser is different because they have real product for the investor trust with brave coin.

I don't think there's much people that's complaining about Brave anyway. Most of the criticisms it got from the community, is that why did they need to create another altcoin, Brave Attention Token(BAT), instead of using existing coins like bitcoin. I know that they needed funding hence the ICO, but still.

Having deployed an innovative digital advertising platform, I wonder how Brave is doing right now in terms of revenue and adoption? Will it ever have a chance to challenge Googles supremacy over this field? I'm sure this VPN project from them is designed to attract more customers and foster adoption.

Although its business model seems unprecedented, I think they will have a hard time competing with Google's Adsense program which is more established and widely adopted. But in any case, given more time to grow, I'm sure Brave and BAT token will definitely have a significant share of the pie once advertisers looks for other alternative aside from Google.

We all know that the blockchain itself guaranties anonymity on its own and now Brave browser want's to integrate it into a vpn service creating a fully decentralized virtual private network which means you don't have to be worried about your data being sold by the vpn providers.

However we all know that everything has a good and bad side and one of its disadvantages is that it gives people who perform illegal activities more freedom. What do you think about it? Do you think it's worth it or not?

They are not the first to implemented that Opera did it first and because of that they now have many users so instead of subscribing to a VPN they just go to the setting and use the vpn option, it's good that Brave is going to add this to protect people's privacy, which is the concern of people whoa re buying in the first place.

Nah, as much as I want them to defeat Google(because screw Google for privacy reasons), Google is just currently too big. Not saying that Google is going to be undefeatable, it will definitely be very difficult and it will take a lot of time(probably more than a decade) for a competitor to do so. I mean, their brand name became a verb[1] for fucks sake lol. It just shows how much they dominate the search engine niche(and other niches in general).

Knowing that people are still very skeptical on cryptocurrencies, I don't see advertisers outside of the crypto industry to be trying BAT at all.

The adoption is seems kinda lacking after few years but there are still some people who are using it but their idea is truly unique and not just repeating other's idea and demand funding for that, this decentralized vpn if it got decent network or atleast fast and fully decentralized I guess it will be revolutionary.
I'd give it a try once it is released because although i'm not really fond of using VPN because I just rarely do something that need to hide my real IP anyway. However if compared to adsense program I think BAT token is using a different approach and can't really compare it to adsense progam because it is different.

I'm using brave browser now. I can say that I am quite pleased with the interface and usability. I'm also proud to use a blockchain-based browser.

But things change a bit when it comes to decentralized VPN service. I am currently using a decentralized vpn service called BolehVPN. A simple e-mail confirmation is enough to become a member here. The system does not keep users ' logs and thus provides full privacy.

But as long as I use Brave Browser, all my information is in the hands of Brave browser, such as my e-mail address, my location. I don't think it's enough for brave to just offer a decentralized VPN service. They should use a completely decentralized internet network, like Skycoin. Maybe then I can change my mind.

[joshua123]

Aside from Google chrome, firefox and internet explorer. I mostly use brave, and knowing its token is BAT, I can sense they are in the right track protecting those privacy of people. Privacy is important to most, so having this idea and plan can very well help a lot. Well I know some will disagree but that's youre opinion.

Not because Brave has it's own token for their ads platform, it doesn't make the browser "blockchain-based".

BolehVPN is not decentralized. The fact that you need an email confirmation automatically makes it not decentralized.

all things have good and bad sides, we just need to continue to develop the good side I know it can not be avoided, when someone has a problem of course the solution will be created even though there are bad sides, I have read the article and the beginning of the word is very bad, but that not the worst, depending on how people use it / respond to it.

[Crytodon]

Will this functionality be available in countries excluded from the Brave Browser ecosystem

Ohh you got me. Yes you're right, just because brave has it's own token does not mean it's blockchain-based.

Regarding BolehVPN: They said, they don't save the logs i mean any logs, including e-mail logs. But your opinion is right too. Do you have a recommendation for decentralized VPN service? I already bought and using the bolehVPN, i thought they are full decentralized

I do not like any project against our privacy, why i come to crypto market, it is free world, do not have to send my id to any one send money as i want.
This is the crypto market.

indeed it is very difficult to be able to choose the safest browser from data theft that often occurs in the internet world, it is very easy for these hackers to take action when the target surfing the internet should indeed be equipped with technology such as VPN that can change IP to be difficult to trace and brave this browser I'm still a little afraid when using it.

[Aabcde]

Many people have advised me to use Brave browser, but until now I have not installed it. There are some real reasons. First, I still feel comfortable using chrome or mozilla. Secondly, as others say, using a VPN is very vulnerable to theft of consumer data. Therefore I will review first before using it.

[asus09]

Do you know how to received airdrop coin from brave browser with BAT coin, today many people show us about their payment from brave browser with BAT coin giving to their wallet, I like coin have real product with brave browser and always give reward for every one promote brave coin for investor.

[allwelder]

there have been many blockchain based dVPN,seems all were dead,no activity.
dVPN surely have a good use.

Look forward to VPN⁰ developed by a 'big' company brave.

[huu78]

I think it's worth it if giving VPN service will be safer and do not need to worry about using other VPN services.
Surely still there is a good and bad side whether that is what we still have to be careful of our data all to keep it safe.

[DaveWave]

I would love a Brave VPN. I believe they are more reliable than other VPNs.

The bad side is always taken into consideration too. The criminals are happier and more beneficial with this kind of product. But if Brave won't do this then someone will also do this. Time will tell how a decentralized VPN affects the general public.
