this kind of concept is still experimental, p2p networks have been there for a long time but putting them on the browser like this is new. as of right now, limiting malicious content is not developed enough compared to the established http world. my first thought is maybe have an extension or a local application on the browser that detects bad content. there are things out there that can do the job, just a matter of connecting them to the browser.
hybrid browser is a p2p web browser, it supports the bittorrent, ipfs, hypercore, tor and a couple of other networks.
you can browse just like a regular web browser but the added abilities are that you will be able to browse p2p websites/content. each piece of p2p data has links just like regular links except it will be p2p links. for example, a <img src="somehttplink">, can be <img src="somep2plink">.
think about a website you like. new users who visit that website, instead of them downloading the website data from a centralized server, they would download that data from you. you will get to actively help content that you like. just like torrenting.
The usage is huge. Means you can upload p2p websites. You can use p2p links on the browser so websites can load content from bittorrent, ipfs and the other networks. Imagine helping your favorite website by sharing that website with other users by giving them the data. This would involve no servers so no middlemen. People directly sharing data from their computer.
