Since the introduction of the internet, web browsers have always been with the internet. Without the browsers, users cannot surf the internet. Web browsers makes up a high percentage of the internet resources which includes servers, DNS nodes, Internet Service providers (ISPs) etc. Browsers acts as a point of entry to the Internet and hence almost every user of the web makes use of the browsers. Despite the many benefits that comes with internet, there are still challenges that comes with its use. There are common issues of security and leakage of sensitive data of users which are mostly overlooked by most of the current web browsers that are widely used. Hence it is about time users try something new from a browser that can give them a new experience with a modern touch. Today I would take the opportunity to discuss an amazing browser known as Netbox browser, a browser with a modern touch for all users of the internet to surf without much difficulties.
SECURITY CHALLENGE OF MOST BROWSERS
From the point of view of most programmers, most of the current browsers have serious challenges that affects the security of users leaving them at the mercy of hackers. The main disadvantage of this poor security has to do with the ordinary user. In almost all instances of system attacks that causes computer infection, sensitive data of users end up at the mercy of hackers. There can be a more realistic approach to this, if modern browsers are made more secure than they are at the moment. For instance, many hackers makes use of malicious scripts to steal sensitive data of internet users. These kind of attacks mostly end up stealing the password of users or victims.
There is also a problem with phishing. Many browsers usually warn users on malicious sites, but there are situations where users might follow these kind of phishing sites whether knowingly or unknowingly and end up getting scammed. Unfortunately for most users who end up getting scammed, it may not just be a password of a social media platform but it could be bank details of a user which is very sensitive. In the current system, most developers of browsers think only of their selfish interest without thinking of the safety of the users.
Most web browsers that claims to be free are not absolutely free since users are always interrupted to watch ads that interferes with their browsing on the internet. Hence users are indirectly being exploited. To some extent, users pay with their confidential or personal details and areas of interest which are supposed to remain confidential. Developers behind a particular browser are able to know the interest of users by tracking their frequently used websites and the kind of terms they search on search engines such as Google. All these personal details are sold to potential advertisers who would intend click bait you at any point in time since audience are readily known.
A typical instance was when popular web browser, Opera was involved in a similar scandal of data leakage back in 2016. Developers of NetBox Browser wants to provide a very long lasting solution with their innovative way of protecting users of their web browser. The amazing NetBox internet browser is very distinct from all other browsers since users are respected as major stakeholders hence they are rewarded part of the revenue they generate for the browser through their surfing activity.
Readers, this information is very explicit, users earn some coins simply by surfing and not by watching boring advertisement videos or clicking on embedded links. NetBox is also not interested in selling the sensitive data of users to third party companies. Wondering how this works? It is very simple since NetBox browser operates on blockchain technology.

HOW NETBOX GLOBAL INCORPORATES BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Netbox browser has its own blockchain which operates on the Proof of Stake algorithm with its own native currency known as NetBox Coin which is abbreviated as NBX. It is with this unique coin that users are rewarded. For a start, just by downloading the browser users automatically earn 20 NBX coins. Users of the browser also earn more coins by referring others. Aside referring others, users can also earn NBX coins by surfing the Internet with the browser and also by maintaining the network through the staking of coins and hence confirming transactions utilizing the PoS algorithm.
Well for starters, most people who are not familiar with Netbox would think since NBX coins can easily be earned by surfing the internet with the browser hence the coins can easily be dumped by most users but this is not the case. When a careful analysis is made on the whitepaper from Netbox Global, one will realize that Netbox Browser is just a fragment of the whole ecosystem of the NetBox Global which includes a variety of parts: a DApp store, payment system that comes with a unique bank card, a multi-currency wallet etc. At the moment, most of these items in the ecosystem are yet to be implemented in the near future thus the NBX coins will be in high demand when all the services are fully functional.
CONCLUSION
Netbox Global is a unique project built on blockchain with a realistic idea. I wish to encourage all web browser users and cryptocurrency enthusiasts alike to make good use of this amazing browser and become a part of the community of early adopters.

This is great to see. I will have to research it further but it seems like a great idea.
I was awaiting for a decentralized token-rewarding browser.
Hopefully, I dont know if you have tried the brave browser. It is almost decentralized, Netbox is pretty cool and works with similar features.
