blockchain-based browser patented by technology giant IBM

A new patent application from IBM describes a blockchain-based web browser. Filed August 6 at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the IBM patent is for a browser supported by a peer-to-peer network.

The browser collects pre-specified information from web browsing sessions, which are then transferred to a peer-to-peer node network for collection and storage. The collection of information depends on the type of experience depending on the navigation chosen. Using a public versus a personal computer would require different settings, for example.

The types of information that can be stored include visited websites, bookmarks, geolocation, plugin installation and security settings.

Blockchain-based browser

IBM claims that a blockchain-based browser “provides a system for storing browsing information so that sensitive data is controlled by the user, not a third party.”

A potential use case that the document includes, among other things, is an attack on the computer’s browser. If secured by blockchain technology, a backup of all user information will thus be available.

It is interesting to note that the new IBM concept also includes a token that will check the session activities of the user’s browser.

IBM’s blockchain web browser concept is not the only one in the field.
