Prehistory

Everything was as usual. I used to work on a computer on the Internet, my father watched his fighters on YouTube, my brother played online games. There was a noise of strong wind through the window. After a while, a storm broke. As a result, the entire quarter remained without electricity. I went to bed hoping that the light would come tomorrow and I could finish my internet project. But the miracle did not happen. Waking up in the morning, I noticed that the picture only got worse. This feeling is like an apocalypse. I got into this unpleasant situation for the first time. Then I realized that life without the internet in the 21st century is impossible.

Every day we communicate with our acquaintances, friends, friends through the Internet. We share our experience, develop, make money, have fun. The Internet has replaced almost everything in our lives. This is good when you have access to this great resource from anywhere. All the information available in the world is also on the Internet. This is a very valuable resource for everyone. And very useful if used properly.

But how safe is the internet for us?

Most of all this question depends on which application we go to this internet. These are mostly browsers or social networks. Today we look at browsers. Are they safe?
You can answer this question right away. All popular browsers are not safe for users.
Consider the favorite among all the browsers of recent Google Chrome.

Why people like Chrome so much:

1. SPEED
Running at the speed of browsers, Google Chrome will definitely become the absolute champion. In this case, it applies to both downloading the browser and opening page
2 . MINIMALISM AND SIMPLICITY
The most important thing that the user wants from the browser is the ability to quickly find the information you need and instantly switch between the open tabs.
For me, this is all the benefits of this browser. But it has a very big disadvantage is the lack of security.

Opera, chrome, Firefox, Safari all these browsers are centralized. This means that all your data is provided by browser developers. You ask, what is our data for them? It’s easier than you think. They use our data to make more money for users. To monetize your browser, many developers set up ads where your business is sold to businesses. But will you agree, you do not pay for viewing ads?

So I started looking for another browser that would be safe to use. And I was very happy when I found it.

Netbox.Global Browser

It is a direct competitor to Google Chrome. Already after the first day of use, I made sure that I would no longer return to standard browsers such as Chrome or Mozila. Netbox is the first decentralized browser that has no control center. All user personal data is owned by the users themselves, and the product development decision is made by the community.

The technical part

Netbox.Browser is an application on a PC or smartphone whose main function, in addition to Internet access, is to maintain its Netbox.Chain blockchain. Each browser is a node of this network that stores and validates the network blocks to confirm the truth, uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism in which each network member (each web browser) can check the blocks, ensuring their veracity, with a certain amount of currency Netbox.Coin. In the case of validation of these blocks, the node receives a remuneration in proportion to the amount of currency issued as a guarantee.
To check blocks on the Netbox.Chain network, there must be as many network nodes as possible. For this purpose, the Netbox.Chain network encourages Netbox.Browser users online to charge them in Netbox.Coin, in proportion to the time the browsers are online and the activity of users in those browsers. Awards are accrued in each new network unit and distributed among participants. The more active users of the web browser, the faster and more secure transactions go into blockchain.

=======================================The browser has dozens more advantages than Google Chrome, now we look at them:

Netbox.Wallet

Netbox.Wallet allows you to store, send, receive and exchange all cryptocurrency and optional currencies supported. For example, a Netbox.Wallet user can exchange Netbox.Coins for bitcoins or US dollars. You can top up your Fiat account with a payment card or direct bank transfer to your Netbox.Wallet account.
Netbox.Coin (NBX) can also be bought or sold on well-known exchanges such as P2PB2B, STEX, Crex24

Netbox.Wallet security

When creating a Netbox.Wallet, a user creates a pair of cryptographic keys: public and private. The private key is used for transactions to send Netbox.Coins from a user’s wallet. For the convenience and safety of the user, the private key is stored only in encrypted form. The encryption key is a user-assigned password. The command does not and cannot have any access to the private keys of the users as they are stored only in encrypted form. The key is decrypted on the user’s side to sign transactions related to sending cryptocurrencies. The password known only to the user is used for decryption. The user is personally responsible for keeping the password.

============================================Netbox.PAY

Anyone at Netbox.Wallet can order a plastic card to be used at any payment terminal. The card is issued within a week and delivered to the client by mail.
A separate card account denominated in paper currency is created for the user. The user can top up their account with both their accounts and cryptocurrencies. When replenishing from a cryptocurrency account, the exchange transaction will be made automatically.
The issued plastic card can be used for online shopping. When prompted to enter payment card information on the product’s payment page, Netbox.Browser automatically recognizes the situation and prompts you to enter the plastic card issued by the user automatically. All you have to do for the user is to click “Pay”. If there is not enough money in the card account, it can be automatically replenished, including from the crypto account, if the corresponding conversion rule is set up.

============================================Netbox.Store

With the advent, development and distribution of various blocks of blocks, so-called distributed applications or dApps, began to be used. They differ from classic PC and mobile applications by the absence of a central server and the use of blockchains to store application data, as well as to implement internal logic through smart contracts.

Dapp catalog

To use such programs, users must install special applications in their web browsers, with which dApps can perform blockchain operations. These add-ons are already integrated into Netbox.Browser, making it fully accessible to run dApps for all popular blockchains. In addition to the add-ons required to work with dApps, Netbox.Browser contains its own store — Netbox.Store — where browser users can freely find and run dApps. DApp developers can host dApps on Netbox.Store, which will make them available to the entire browser audience. Netbox.Browser users can rate various dApps using the Netbox.Trust tool. Depending on user ratings and popularity of certain dApps, they are classified in the store. The most popular programs with the highest ratings rank higher in the store. dApps, marked by a large number of users as unwanted or unsafe, is automatically removed from the store.

============================================Netbox.Vote

Decentralization is a central idea in the Netbox.Global team philosophy. This applies not only to technical implementations of infrastructure, but also to management and product development tools. Netbox.Global, while not legally personal, is involved in the active involvement of communications in strategic and tactical decisions. For this block, Netbox.Chain includes Netbox.Vote — an initiative and voting tool.
Each member of the network can give his or her own idea about the development of the infrastructure in the goal or the implementation of specific aspects of the products. This initiative is registered with Netbox.Chain, and other users can support it by voting. Internet users are also enrolled in Netbox.Chain, which allows you to demonstrate transparency when deciding on a future project developer.

============================================Netbox.Trust

This resource will act as a guarantor of the reliability of information on the Internet.
Content rating will be based on the following criteria:
- reliability of information;
- content security;
- fitness for children;
- product quality (for online stores);
- Provider reliability (for online stores).

In Netbox.Browser results, you can customize the model to determine the type of content that is not displayed or displayed with previous capabilities. For example, if any non-child-friendly content is blocked through Netbox.Trust.

============================================Netbox.Video

For free and independent placement and use of video content Netbox.Global decided to create its own video hosting — Netbox.Video. Netbox.Video does not contain any central storage for video files. The content of this video file snippet is stored on the devices of Netbox.Chain users, similar to BitTorrent.

Content availability will be delayed by the number of nodes on the networks, and at the same time, a special algorithm will distribute the file fragments so that the most popular content is available. At this time, the video content index is stored in Netbox.Chain, and for this reason it cannot be compromised or measured by the administration over longer parties.
Netbox.Video’s internal economics suggest that some Netbox.Chain users upload snippets of video files to their storage location, while other users who view this content (download snippets of files) automatically develop them. Netbox.Coin is used for this purpose. The reward for renting space is dependent on the amount of time, while this content is downloadable and the capacity of the channel. For users of the same content, the payment will be for Netbox. The video will not be a server-side financial city, and will usually be offset by delivery to Netbox.Coins for browser use.

============================================Netbox.DRIVE

Netbox.Drive is a technologically advanced storage of user files that ensures the reliability of the Netbox.Chain unit. 100% availability of files on Netbox.Drive is guaranteed by the fact that it is master nodes, the main condition of which is the maximum work on the networks. You can use a node master that can sell for your own storage, and Netbox.Drive users will be able to pay the owners of the master node using the currency Netbox.Coin.
Netbox.Drive is integrated into Netbox.Browser in Web Access mode, as well as in an operating system in which Netbox.Drive is integrated as a folder in the file system.

============================================Netbox.Proxy

he main purpose of the Netbox.Proxy creation is to provide users with the ability to use the Internet without any restrictions imposed by third parties who control the access. In many countries, access to Internet is partially blocked. Unfortunately, at the same time, in many cases, users are protected not only from information that is really dangerous for them. According to the Netbox.Global team, the Internet is a free environment, which fundamental principle is the maximum availability of information.

Another important principle of the free Internet is privacy, which is currently almost not provided with standard tools available to users. For example, Internet service providers are required to disclose complete and detailed information about the user’s activity on the Internet. At the same time, such actions are most often taken without any consent or, at least, notification of the user.

Just a lot of the benefits of a Netbox browser. Let’s summarize the above.

Conclusion

As an active internet user, I can confidently say that a decentralized Netbox browser is the best one at the moment. Old Chrome or Mozilla browsers, long overdue, they can’t tell us anything new. Netbox technology is amazing, with no analogues in the world. This will be a revolution in the world of browsers
