Brave Browser to launch a fully decentralized vpn

[glendall]

of course it's very feasible if BRAVE provides additional VPN to the browser, but is it free or paid? because we know a lot of paid VPN platforms and I use them, and if the VPN that BRAVE uses is free is the quality the same as the paid one? of course this also needs to be considered.

A lot of people are using VPNs and if I am one of them it does not mean that I am a criminal. However, you can use the same argument by privacy coins that would be eliminated sooner or later, because governments have the same point of view.

Looks like Brave Browser is heading towards the dark zone of the cryptos. Anyone here remember Anon Coin and how it was excluded for every exchange because it had real cases of use into the criminality and dark web ? I still remember that coin and how it all went.

If Brave somehow pull a decentralized vpn then I guess it will have 2 faces , one a normal browser and the other one will be used by other type of people ) , if this is the case , I will remain to my Chrome as they could use your IP to browser the net , right ? And you will never know what IP will use...

This article kills me "Brave’s proposed VPN system would use zero-knowledge proofs to allow people to search dodgy things without incriminating themselves." lol.

I like that you can control the nodes and what content is on them so you do not have to be tarnished with such things as piracy. I am not so sure what other "grim Internet gunge" they are talking about but I guess it is nice to stay clean. I am more interested in how much money can be made running a node and what the collateral amount will be.

This article us actually a load of crap. Waste my damn time with this shit. It's just about people going on about criminals and how this service will be used for crime and that moron "Chris Monteiro? the "dark web researcher" (whatever the hell that is) claims brave is run by criminals. What an absolute idiot.

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?

The biggest criminals are not using those kinds of VPN, they are in the seat of power in the pillars of this society. That is why I don't think releasing this kind of VPN would do much with cybercrimes. Having privacy will help us a lot to keep us safe from those big criminals that want to buy&sell your online profile.

I thought the current version they have isn't centralized. Does this means that they've been already collecting data from their users and the growth of the browser is impressive which means they've a lot of insight already from their users. But they have already a TOR version right? what's the difference?

I know many people talks about brave and how it can be better than Chrome as a browser. But since the VPN will offer this kind of service, I was thinking on how will their company earn from this. So, I assume that the VPN will cost more than our regular VPN available in the market right now. Though, it will be a good innovation especially tht there are a lot concerns about data privacy and anonymity of our online selves.

well, so that mean Brave browser will be similar like TOR browser ?
VPN⁰, which would keep users connected while masking their online identities , i smell this will bring a lot of cyber theft.

But they have already a TOR version right? what's the difference?

about it , according to that article :
"Brave says Tor does a similar-ish thing, but exit nodes are still “responsible” for all traffic they direct."

Brave team are seriously working and looking at what is best for each location. If this can continue, then it might replace a lot of other browsers, most especially decentralized.

honestly i have trouble believing Brave when they say things
they did their whole ICO based on BS, promising USERS they could monetize their own data
made all that money and years later still a pipe dream, tho now you can pay websites? (so dumb)
ill believe this when i SEE it haha

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. 

Many people love brave browser give reward for every member install and use brave as their computer or hand phone browser, still working if you want to promote brave browser and earn BAT coin every month, you will get depend on how many people you can ask for joining and installing brave browser, but your referral have use rave browser and not uninstall it forever, you can use many way how to get traffic where many people install your brave browser link.
