Web3 is a set of experimental protocols for hosting decentralized data on the Internet. Web3 uses Peer-to-Peer (P2P) principles. The article lists web browsers for Web3.

Web3 and DWeb browsers for Linux

Title Description URL
Aggregore Web browser for the non-commercial distributed web (DWeb). Supports http, ipns, hyper protocols. Where IPNS stands for Interplanetary Name System, is a protocol that enables cloud addressing in the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), allowing users to create links that can be updated over time while maintaining the integrity of the content. The Hepercore protocol for file sharing is described at https://hypercore-protocol.github.io/new-website/install/. Hyperlane is a protocol for interaction between blockchains. For using cryptocurrency, you may face Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation or blocking of client accounts by the bank. Ipfs, ipns, hyper, dapp are Web3 technologies (while Web 2 is associated with http and https). https://github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregore-browser
Brave Chromium without Google services, from Brave Software; claims to be a leader in speed, security and privacy. Also, Brave supports InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), when you enable the “IPFS Companion” item in the brave://settings/extensions settings. In doing so, it becomes a crypto browser. In the future, when you load a URL starting with "ipfs://" (opens a new window), Brave will prompt you to enable the extension. IPFS is focused on creating a global network for storing and sharing files without a central authority. That is, p2p or an analogue of BitTorrent. The IPFS protocol itself is cryptocurrency-neutral, but decentralized sites listed at https://trends.builtwith.com/websitelist/IPFS are based on it, a significant portion of which are “crypto coins.” Thus, ipfs is a transport for crypto transactions. For using cryptocurrency, you may face Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation or blocking of client accounts by the bank. Another application of IPFS is the so-called “Unstoppable Domains”. Their use is in a “gray area”: some of them contain P2P analogues of social networks or instant messengers.

Power Web3 Web3 viewer for Windows, Mac and Android. Web3 is the concept of an economy on blockchains, cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
