Probably, this is what FBI and NSA hate because this platform is not only protecting you from anyone who tries to invade your privacy but it is also faster to access and without malware, spam, annoying ads, and tracking software. Honestly, I've never seen such concept since I started being crytocurrency enthusiast and this is the game changer and first of the kind.
The founders of Online.io develop this platform to reinvent the WWW (World Wide Web) experience by placing people's privacy as their top priority, thus offering a more secure, non-trackable, without malware and ad-free internet.
Mission behind this ambitious project to invite people together to stop the government agencies and big internet companies tracking our move every time. Absolutely, you will be angry if your personal data being sold right? If it is not a big deal to you, I think you should Google about Cambridge Analytica scandal.
How Online.io Platform Works
The financial rewarding basis for website operators will be the proof of online, namely a number that quantifies the time spent by users on each website. Most importantly, everyone will benefit from an ad free, secure and private browsing experience. Also, the end users will be able to rank each website based on their experience, by using a voting system based on 1 to 5 stars. The stars will then be converted based on an algorithmic formula in Trust Rating which will be an indicative of each websites' quality, awarded by its visitors.

In today's interconnected society characterized by increased capability of everyday devices to connect to other devices and people through the internet infrastructure, the high degree of connectivity raises a myriad of consumers’ privacy and data security concerns. The advertising industry enjoyed a negative attention both from the large public and the authorities because of its less transparent practices of online tracking and behavioral profiling.
Following technological developments, online tracking became increasingly sophisticated, thus it is no longer limited to the "cookies" installed on the user's devices in order to monitor websites a user visits, but it can track real-time data accessed by a user and triangulate that with information stored about that user's location, financial data, health records, etc. These results are then complied into complex and rather comprehensive consumers' profiles that are sold to digital advertising companies for better targeting their promotional campaigns.

regarding intellectual property, confidential personal information, financial data, etc. Consequently, the cybersecurity market is on a continuous upward trend, being driven by cybercrime.
