Unstoppable Browser for decentralized IPFS web

Unstoppable Domains has launched a browser that supports the non-custodial decentralized web, like IPFS. The newly launched browser can access websites built on peer-to-peer networks. The browser is also capable of running a local instance of IPFS, which means users support the decentralized network.

The Unstoppable Browser is available for Windows PCs and MacOS. There’s no version for mobile devices yet. Development of the Unstoppable Browser is open source. Any developer can contribute on Github. The browser is based on Electron and websites are rendered using Chromium. This is also the engine that powers Google Chrome.

Last year Unstoppable Domains already launched their own .crypto blockchain domains. These domain names aren’t accessible through regular browsers, but require Web 3.0 support. This is something Opera for Android offers, but other browsers like Chrome, Brave, and Firefox are a bit behind on this development.

In addition these domain names also serve as cryptocurrency wallets. For example, people can also send bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, and tron to a blockchain domain address like playtoearn.crypto. Support for this feature is limited to certain wallets, but the numbers of wallets is expanding rapidly.
