Pirate Bay Releases ‘Pirate Browser’ to Thwart Censorship

&gt; They are also working on a special BitTorrent-powered browser, which lets users store and distribute The Pirate Bay and other websites on their own.<p>Great idea.<p>If this came as a plugin, it would probably spread faster.<p>(This is btw how I think any next-gen social network should work - no more central servers, everything distributed.)

The link shown in the screenshot is <a href="http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion&#x2F;</a> but I thought TPB&#x27;s &quot;TOR hidden service&quot; link was <a href="http://jntlesnev5o7zysa.onion/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jntlesnev5o7zysa.onion&#x2F;</a> . I wonder what&#x27;s going on.

They should have named it after a real pirate ship : <a href="http://www.noblesandcourtiers.org/famous-pirate-ships.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.noblesandcourtiers.org&#x2F;famous-pirate-ships.htm</a><p>Delivery sounds fine.

I&#x27;ve frequently heard complaints that bittorrent folks using Tor put unhelpful strain on the network--is the distribution of this browser going to be a problem in that way?

Potentially stupid question – how is this different from the Tor browser bundle?

Cool, but why not Opera in off-road mode?
