What is a Web3 browser and how does it work?

A software program called a web service enables computer-to-computer communication over the internet. However, web services are nothing new and typically take the form of an application programming interface (API). The Web is a collection of related hypertext materials that may be accessed online. For example, a user examines web pages that may contain multimedia using a web browser and uses hyperlinks to move between them.

Tim Berners-Lee, who was employed by CERN, The European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland, invented the Web in 1989. Since then, Berners-Lee has actively directed the development of web standards and has pushed for the creation of the Semantic Web, also called Web3. 

The phrase “Web3” is used to characterize multiple evolutions of web interaction and usage along various paths, including creating a geospatial web, utilizing artificial intelligence tools and making content available through numerous non-browser apps or Web3 browsers. A Web3 browser introduces users to a new world of decentralized apps (DApps) and digital economies. 

This article will discuss Web3 fundamentals, key features of a Web3 browser, how a Web3 browser works and how to use one.

What is a Web3 browser?

Web3 browsers help users interact with decentralized applications built on blockchain technology. Web3 technologies like distributed ledgers, artificial intelligence, Metaverse and others aim to create the next-generation internet, which is accessible to everyone and offers benefits.

Key features of a Web3 browser include:

• Immutable ecosystem, i.e., trust that people will download the digital product just as the original creator intended. 
• Enhanced transparency and security, 
• Quicker browsing performance,
• Complete user anonymity and confidentiality,
• Integrating cryptocurrency wallets with multiple blockchains,
• Complete control over the content due to decentralization.

Furthermore, search engines can find microcontent texts automatically tagged in Web3, calling for converting countless macro Web1 content into microcontent. Because tagging can somewhat eliminate the uncertainty that homonyms and synonyms introduce to the search process, the end result may be a more accurate search.
