It is    very unpopular among media firms and in the UK, at least, most    ISPs are blocking access to it and some other websites like it.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Pirate Bay has made a number of changes already, most    recently having to do with its domain name and address, and it    has also been working behind the scenes on a system that makes    the website and its Bittorrent links available to users.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"The goal is to create a browser-like client to circumvent    censorship, including domain blocking, domain confiscation,    IP-blocking. This will be accomplished by sharing all of a    site's indexed data as P2P downloadable packages, that are then    browsed\/rendered locally,\" said a Pirate Bay insider to the    Torrentfreak website.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"It's basically a browser-like app that uses webkit to render    pages, Bittorrent to download the content while storing    everything locally.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    The Pirate Bay already has its own web browser and that has    acquired some 2.5 million users. Released on the 10-year    anniversary of the filesharing website, it promised a TOR-based    browser bundle. Again, as now, that was pitched as a solution    for security and content aware web users.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"Piratebrowser is a bundle package of the TOR client (Vidalia),    Firefox Portable browser (with foxyproxy addon) and some custom    configs that allows you to circumvent censorship that certain    countries such as Iran, North Korea, United Kingdom, The    Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Italy and Ireland    impose onto their citizens,\" it explained.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"While it uses TOR network, which is designed for anonymous    surfing, this browser is intended just to circumvent censorship    - to remove limits on accessing websites your government    doesn't want you to know about.\"   <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.theinquirer.net\/c\/554\/f\/7127\/s\/35905953\/sc\/4\/l\/0L0Stheinquirer0Bnet0Cinquirer0Cnews0C23211650Cthe0Epirate0Ebay0Eis0Eworking0Eon0Ea0Eblockbusting0Eweb0Ebrowser\/story01.htm\" title=\"The Pirate Bay is working on a blockbusting web browser\">The Pirate Bay is working on a blockbusting web browser<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> FILESHARING WEBSITE The Pirate Bay is working on a censorship-avoiding P2P web browsing experience.
