It's hard to understand the purpose of this. The difficulty of the project (i.e. complexity of the web) is the real problem that needs solving. We don't need another fork of the browser-verse. We need a fork of the web itself.

They have a fork of the web. Its called the dark web. They use it to sell hookers and drugs.

We also have a fork of money, it's called crypto and it's used to sell and buy hookers and drugs. Every fork of something end up used to buy hookers and drugs. Truly marvelous!

Uhhhhhhhhhh

How many of those listings are code for something?

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

None that I'm aware of. I guess it's possible, but I have not seen it be the case yet.

Edit: I can tell you for a fact that the ones I'm listing are legitimate. And if you don't believe me, try purchasing one with the multi-signature escrow.

Dark web should really be called dark or overlay Internet.

All dark "web" browser use the same rendering engines and same spec as regular ones.

Considering how much Google has entrenched itself into the Internet (see manifest v3 fiasco), I would argue that creating a new browser is a fork of the web
