Privacy-centered Brave has integrated the InterPlanetary File System into its newly updated browser.
Since its launch in 2018, Brave has built loyal usage by giving Web users what they wanted: more privacy and lesser ads. And now, it is letting users give back by making the internet more censorship-resistant.
The privacy-centered Brave browser has wrapped a dandy new integration into today’s software update that lets Brave users view content through the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).
The IPFS is a decentralized system for giving files in which websites are hosted not by the companies but by other IPFS users running nodes. Protocol Labs stated that the makers of IPFS, the peer-to-peer protocol, save bandwidth, revamps internet connectivity, and makes it easier to keep content online.
It particularly goes for Web users in countries with blocked websites, pointed out IPFS Project Lead Molly Mackinlay.
“Today, Web users across the world are unable to access restricted content, including, for example, parts of Wikipedia in Thailand, over 100,000 blocked websites in Turkey, and critical access to COVID-19 information in China,” she said in a press release. “Now anyone with an internet connection can access this critical information through IPFS on the Brave browser.”
It suits well with the ideology of Brave, which already aimed to put control into users’ hands. For instance, it already rewards users who view advertisements with its native token, the Basic Attention Token (BAT). Users can then use BAT to tip publishers or exchange it for cash. Brave also allows its users to block things like trackers and cookies.
