According to statistics, in 2023, the Ministry of Information and Communications recorded, warned and guided the handling of 12,846 cyber attacks, an increase of 5.3% over the same period in 2022.

Experts predict that in the context of the widespread buying and selling of personal data in Vietnam, online fraud cases in cyberspace will continue to increase in 2024. Therefore, people need to be more vigilant to avoid becoming victims of fraudsters; regularly update and grasp information on cyberspace security issues.

Change your browser usage habits and proactively protect network information security.

Currently, there are many tools and software on the market to help users protect personal data, but in general, they are still complicated. Users often have to download and install additional third-party extensions (such as blocking cookies) into their main browser or apply multiple steps (such as using 2-layer security) to increase protection for their devices and personal data. Even when using many security tools, it is not possible to be sure that data is protected from tracking and exploitation by third parties when users are still "being" shown ads when surfing the web even though they do not want to or see suggested content based on previous searches and interests.

Herond Browser, a new browser developed by a Vietnamese team, has just been launched to help solve many problems that users are facing. All common necessary features are integrated into the same browser. Users do not need to download and install additional extensions.

According to the developer representative, built on blockchain technology, Herond Browser opens the gate for users to enter the world of Web 3.0.

“Herond Browser is a comprehensive web browser that provides users with a secure, empowering, and truly personalized browsing experience. We believe that Herond Browser will be an important tool for those who care about protecting their privacy and security online, as well as those who want to enjoy the benefits of Web 3.0,” said Nguyen Thanh Nam, Founder and CEO of Herond Labs.

Major advertisers use third-party cookies to track users' browsing behavior to deliver relevant ads. With Herond, browsers block third-party cookies, limiting the data advertisers can use to study users' browsing habits. In addition, Herond Shield uses AI technology to detect and block malware, phishing, and other online threats. This feature can analyze website content, links, and attachments to identify potential threats.

One of the standout features of Web 3.0 that the average user will find on the Herond browser is the ability to access decentralized applications (dApps) directly in the browser, giving users more control over the information they share.

Balancing security with flexible interface customization

According to the developer, Herond Browser puts user experience first. Herond uses website optimization technology to provide page load times 3 times faster than conventional browsers.

In addition to the highest level of security technology features, users can flexibly customize the Herond Browser interface for a richer browsing experience.

The intuitive, easy-to-use interface is designed to help users easily find what they are looking for and enjoy a comfortable browsing experience. In addition, Herond Browser's high level of personal customization allows users to customize their browsing experience to their needs. Users can change themes, settings, and other features to suit their own preferences.

Instead of searching, installing and testing many different extensions to find the technological pieces that help optimize security, just a small change in the choice of web browser can lead to big changes in information security and web experience for users.

With advanced security features, online identity control and Web 3.0 support, Herond Browser is expected to be the optimal choice for users who want to protect their privacy, control their identity and experience the rich utilities of Web 3.0.
