Unstoppable Browser

If you are looking for a way to break free from the surveillance efforts of centralized agencies, then decentralized web browsers may be one option to look into. While it is true that they rely on blockchain which do not have a good name, the technology has come a long way since its early days.

Unstoppable Browser is a decentralized web browser that is focused on building a suite of services that protect your privacy. Initially developed as a mechanism for easily remembering cryptocurrency addresses, the app is a robust browser that supports freedom of speech and allows you to get full content without censorship.

According to the developer, the application is made for the so-called non-custodial web, which basically consists of websites built on the P2P network. More precisely, the app allows you to set up and configure your own IPFS node. The idea here is a brave attempt to create a new DNS system where the data is stored on the blockchain instead of the centrally managed servers as with the traditional DNS system.

The direct advantage would be that the domain lookups are impossible to block, whereas the domain names cannot be seized. It would be impractical to censor websites, content or online services.

Because the program enables you to access the decentralized web, you cannot access domains with .com or address starting with http:// as with standard browsers. Instead these are replaced with long blockchain addresses and the standard domain is .crypho, which cannot be taken down for any reason. Needless to say that the crypto industry which is prone to bans stands to benefit a lot from this.

There are quite a few browsers that use .crypho or .zil, so if you would like to access them without any issues, perhaps you can consider giving Unstoppable Browser a try.
