A New Web Browser For P2P Internet Experience With Secure Messaging and Bitcoin Lightning Network
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An open-source browser that promises P2P decentralized internet experience with bitcoin integration.
|

P2P services for chat, video calls, and document editing are not yet mainstream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, the idea for a P2P connection provides better control over the data and security and prevents censorship.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Impervious browser is an exciting initiative that gives you access to P2P tools and a decentralized experience. The tools include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **End-to-end encrypted chat.**
|
||
|
|
- **Encrypted P2P video and audio calls.**
|
||
|
|
- **Live Docs.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, it supports the [Bitcoin lightning network][2], which facilitates instant Bitcoin transactions. If you are a fan of cryptocurrency integrations, this could sound interesting, or it's just another fancy addition for most common users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Impervious Browser: How Does it Work?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Technically, the browser is a customized Mozilla Firefox experience. So, you can expect the same features and capabilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The browser relies on Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), i.e., decentralized digital IDs, to verify a person or connect with them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can find the DID from the settings, which you can share with anyone on the web to add you as a contact.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you do that, you can send a message, initiate a video call, and collaborate with the live document feature for any work.

|
|
|
||
|
|
For users fond of Bitcoin transactions, you can utilize the Lightning network for super-fast payments while in a video call or message conversation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to connect to a lightning node to use the functionality. If you do not have one, Impervious supports creating a [Voltage Lightning Node][6].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I haven't tried it. So, if you are someone who uses cryptocurrency and appreciates the integration while collaborating with people through Impervious's P2P network, it should be a seamless experience.
