In light of the latest news of Comcast selling your data and almost weekly reports of threats to privacy and censorship around the world, we want to now share and invite HN folks to check out the public beta of Tenta Browser. It's a private, encrypted browser with built-in 256bit encryption and OpenVPN. We're in the early stages of development, but have a clear mission of protecting your browsing data instead of selling it and every feature we design is based on this foundation. To help make sure we do it right, we appreciate any and all comments and feedback.
- hyh1048576 10y ago> a private, encrypted browser with built-in 256bit encryption and OpenVPN Can it be used to bypass censorship with the built-in tools? (VPN is not enough for bypassing censorship in China though.)
- crowell 10y agovpn is enough to bypass censorship in china. How do you think international corporations do it?
- exhilaration 10y agoI've read (in Hacker News comments from developers in China) that international corporations get specially-licensed dedicated connections in China that don't go through the Great Firewall at all. So any VPN use on a connection like that would be for security, not to defeat the censors.
- hyh1048576 10y agoThere are ISPs allowed by Gov to provide uncensored internet access, those are unblocked. Otherwise personal use of VPN can be blocked by the gov.

- tenta 10y agoYup, there are methods to fight this problem already. Our goal is to build a browser which faithfully produces the web while respecting users privacy
