Hi.
So I noticed something that surprised me.
Brave can download Torrent files (or Magnets) straight in the browser.
Curious about this: is this something new? Or does is pack some sort of client to within the browser?
Does this makes it safer than a stand-alone program (like, let’s say, QBtorrent)? Or it can’t replace a full program?
Just curious I guess. It’s very cool.
While not as feature-full as a stand alone torrent application, it has its place. Really handy to grab a file on the fly without needing to install another application.
If you’re a heavy user of torrents, then a stand-alone torrent application might be better suited. But to answer your question is it safe. 110% yes.
it’s safe if you have a vpn installed in the browser or on the system itself.
what makes you say that? just curious.

# Don't use VPN services.
No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.
*Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.*
A Russian translation of this article can be found [here](https://tdemin.github.io/posts/2017-08-13-dont-use-vpn-services_ru), contributed by Timur Demin. There's also [this article](https://schub.io/blog/2019/04/08/very-precarious-narrative.html) about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
