Wtf does that even mean?

I feel like half of "decentralized" shit is just random buzzwords.

Unless you are running your web browser on a central server, its "decentralized" as is.

It means a browser for decentralized sites, in other words the sites don't run on a centralized server, but are distributed P2P.

So a browser that only works on a few obscure websites?

Even more useless.

You could have said the same thing about Mosaic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_%28web_browser%29

I'm not entirely sure on how all processes of block chain function but looking at it, I would guess that it Checks with multiple other nodes in the chain to confirm something. Which I mean... works but I'm not entirely sure that makes sense to check a block chain on Domain Registrar or Certificate Authority. I'm not 100% here but the CA is legitimizing the site, decentralizing recognition of it doesn't seem like a good thing unless someone takes control over it, same with the registrar. Decentralizing a DNS server for you're webpage is not something that is a good idea. Unless I'm misunderstanding this seems like a terrible idea...

That just sounds absurdly complicated and weird for no actual reason.
