Topic: Brave Browser to launch a fully decentralized vpn - page 2. (Read 637 times)
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.
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.
Not because Brave has it's own token for their ads platform, it doesn't make the browser "blockchain-based".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.
BolehVPN is not decentralized. The fact that you need an email confirmation automatically makes it not decentralized. 
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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 are now taking some serious movements here, before it was just a referral system, later it was followed but blog posting using brave as well, now they are implementing VPN across the browser. My perception about it is that, brave will going to dominate the altcoin bat, as well as the growth of BAT as well, as people around the world even with restrictions will be allowed to utilize BAT token into their benefits.

Brave has really good browser, I mostly use this browser and to my mind it has no competitors. So I think that brave will be developing more.
i use TOR in brave browser

Considering one of Brave's creator is also one of the founder of Mozilla, I would expect this browser to be fully equip with great features such as TOR and VPN services but I don't think that it doesn't have any competitors since there are other browsers out there that are also worth mentioning such as Chrome, Firefox and Opera - all of which has excellent features and own style. The only downside with Brave is being based on Chromium technology where I think they could have easily made a new browser from scratch.
But now, I think Brave is up one notch on this browser competition with their plan to integrate crypto into a VPN service not to mention its already existing digital advertising ecosystem with BAT token. So I think this so called browser competition is becoming more healthy and beneficial to end users as well.

Yeah naturally even criminals use it, because they like use the services that actually work. I would be more concerned investing time on anything doing with privacy when criminals would avoid it. Also i am interested in following anything that contains zero-knowledge proofs.
Yeah, really? I didn't know at all that blockchain guarantees anonymity. Could you please explain to me how I missed this out?
What i meant to say is that a Decentralised Vpn powered by blockchain will have more anonymity than a regular vpnIs that why the silk road guys all got caught? Is it because they weren't actually using blockchain? You mean Bitcoin isn't enough, they had to blockchain their entire operations?
I don't know who the silk road guys are but i just googled them and i don't see how that relates to blockchainBrave gonna save the world with VPN right?
I didn't say anything about Brave saving the world Why does this always get brought up when discussing privacy? Privacy is a right and we should not limit our privacy just because criminals can use it to do what they do. The member above rightly said that cash also allows criminals to do things anonymously but that never gets brought to light.
This.
And the block chain does not guarantee anonymity.
And I don't know where the person who thinks you can't have more than $10,000 in cash lives, but that it not true in the US.

It for sure sounds fishy , it would attract 90% criminals and scammers and then there would be a problem involving this , there is a reason why we need identification and all , that's because it helps controlling people who might not think good for the society and unfortunately the number runs High. , I do think that it is very essential to somehow give the freedom to people but also keep them in control and identification is necessary .

I'd rather use Tor, which can be done even from that browser. And with Tor, you have access to resources not found anywhere else, as people running Tor nodes can host their own content, away from the clear Internet. This content is free of censorship, because while its possible to detect Tor users, its impossible to determine what content is seen or provided by each particular Tor user.
Tor was designed for this specific purpose, while VPN is not. A VPN is not a privacy tool, and never was. You are using the wrong tool for the job, it might do it more or less, but not as good (think: hammering with a wrench).
And guess what? blockchain by itself DOES NOT guarantee anonymity. Quite the opposite, in fact, it preserves your traces and prevents you or anyone else from erasing/changing them later.
Imagine if your browser used a blockchain to keep track of your history. Goodbye to clear history, ad marketers rejoice!
Yes I was wondering what will happen with Brave's TOR feature if they got to implement it? I guess its either they will remove it or retain it since most users would prefer it over VPN and it could even result to public criticisms once they take out TOR altogether from Brave.
Now with their proposed decentralized crypto enhanced vpn system, I would assume they will integrate BAT token to it and make the Brave ecosystem more easily to monetize and thus will encourage and stimulate the use of BAT token within the platform. This I think is a valid and unique use case I seldom see within the crypto industry.
thanks for that info guys , i didnt know that brave browser has a built in tor feature but i did already knew that brave has an anonymity feature before but i didnt know that if what kind of anonimity was that . now if they are going to introduced this new vpn technology , what would happen to tor ? makes no sense to me on why they still add it or on why wil remove it ( if ever ) because what i know is that tor is more better and more anonymous that vpn's
