BitTorrent's browser enters alpha testing phase

POTENTIALLY DISRUPTIVE: BitTorrent says that its Maelstrom project has the potential to "power a new way for web content to be published, accessed and consumed."

BitTorrent has announced that Maelstrom, its secure and decentralised web browser project, has been released in its very first alpha test version. Available exclusively by invitation, the test version is not necessarily stable. 

For the time being, BitTorrent has not shared details on the technical characteristics or functions of the new browser, which is geared towards data confidentiality, enhanced security and optimal download management.
