Is Impervious a Privacy Preserving Browser?

Chase Perkins is the founder of Impervious, a Lightning-powered, P2P internet browser that recently launched their alpha version.

In our conversation we discussed censorship and privacy on the internet today, we explored how Impervious works, the importance of peer-to-peer communication, decentralized identifiers, and the Lightning Network.

This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats.

The best way to show your support is to download Fountain from the App Store, load your wallet with some sats, and send them over the Lightning Network to kerooke@fountain.fm.
