Every time you open the browser, do you feel bored and irritated by the familiar navigation bar, familiar browser page and search interface that has not changed for thousands of years, perhaps because of the "shock" of seeing the resurgent advertisement pop-up windows? , XX star XXX news" and anxiously click the cross mark, or the desktop full of browsers makes you a little powerless, making it difficult to choose? When games, social avatars, music, and even girl groups are all available in the "Metaverse", you may wonder why I have so many browsers, but it seems that I haven't followed the footsteps of the Shangyuanverse..... ..
So, you can learn about the Brave browser.
The Brave browser is a product developed and launched by Brendan Eich, the creator of the JavaScript programming language, co-founder and former chief technology officer of Mozilla, in 2019. It has already had 8.7 million monthly active users during the online test period alone, and as of 2021 By the end of the year, its monthly active users had doubled to 50.2 million from the previous year. Its advantages are also very obvious. It is a lightning-fast open source web browser with the protection of user privacy as the core, and encourages and supports its native token Basic Attention Token (BAT) to obtain income through browsing advertisements, and at the same time provides content creators The reward program allows users to experience the sense of "constructor presence" in convenient use.
Technology flow! Five keywords to understand Brave
How can there be less blockchain encryption technology: Brave claims to be an encrypted browser, and this statement is not false. At the beginning of its establishment, the Brave team was concerned about the deteriorating network ecological environment and the destruction of users' privacy rights, so it was committed to improving the security and privacy of network access. With the maturity of blockchain technology, Brave browser is actively used, and it has blocked intrusive advertisements and prevented websites from stealing user privacy. So far, Brave has become one of the most popular browsers in the encryption community. one.
BAT Attention Token of Reward Mechanism: Traditional browsers need to make money through advertising, so you must have tasted the "pain" of pop-up ads. The special feature of the Brave browser is that it prevents all kinds of advertisements from appearing randomly, but provides browser users with the function of viewing advertisements to earn BAT coins. On the one hand, it solves the needs of advertisers for positioning and delivery. On the other hand, it brings the user incentive mechanism into full play, realizes the circulation of digital assets, and realizes the interaction between virtual and reality on a macro level.
Use and surpass the Chromium engine: Google Chrome, the top browser in use, uses the Chromium engine. Therefore, if users want to download and use the Brave browser, they don’t have to worry about the length of the "Getting Started Tutorial" too long. Brave browser still supports a variety of Chrome plug-ins. It is worth mentioning that the Brave browser has also modified the API settings of Chromium OS to further realize the peer-to-peer smooth network experience.
IPFS protocol use No.1: At the beginning of 2021, Brave browser officially released version 1.19 and announced that it would become the first browser to support the IPFS protocol. The updated Brave browser can directly access the Uniform Resource Location System starting with ipfs:// without the need for extensions. At the same time, users can also install their own IPFS nodes with one click and help host some of the content they download and view . To put it simply, the IPFS protocol caters to the needs of decentralization in the web3. speed. In addition, IPFS greatly enhances the adaptability of browser failures , and can give users a more secure and personalized sense of use.
Web 3.0 browser in the true sense: In essence, people are still in the web 2.0 era, but the iterative update of new technologies has made Web 3.0's commitment to creating an Internet vision of "everyone builds and everyone shares" can be practiced. Obviously, Brave, which adopts the IPSF protocol, realizes the interaction between nodes and decentralized gateways in a true sense, and moves towards truly decentralized data storage and use. In an open-source network ecosystem, we strive to improve user operability.
Could it be the metaverse?
Let’s first take a look at the seven elements of the metaverse summarized by industry insiders. Decentralization must be the core management principle. With the help of blockchain technology, users are encouraged to have independent property rights and self-identity rights. In the case of open source , they can Random elements are combined, and all stakeholders have community ownership and voice, and realize immersive social interaction with the help of virtual and augmented reality technologies such as VR and AR.
Obviously, based on block technology, Brave browser users are already in a decentralized world. Users can build an equal and friendly platform by building their own websites. As an encrypted browser, Its property rights and self-identity rights will also be realized one by one.
In addition, Brave, built on the basis of the open source Chromium engine, encourages users to register as creators through the content creator incentive plan, and generates exclusive invitation links to invite more people to use the browser, gradually forming a Brave browser, and Contains different types of online communities. After the successful invitation, the platform also rewards the inviter and the invitee, so that each participating user has the autonomy of the community to which he belongs. Of course, as a browser, technologies such as virtual reality may not be used yet, but the future is promising. In the era of highly digital development in the future, who says everything is not possible.
