Trackerless Magnet URI: Chrome Extension for Decentralized BitTorrent Use
"Trackerless Magnet URI" is a browser extension for Google Chrome that enhances privacy and resilience of the BitTorrent network. Its functionality is centered around rewriting magnet URI links, enforcing trackerless peer-discovery. This reduces the BitTorrent network’s dependency on centralized trackers and web seeds that can lead to centralized monitoring and single points of failure. Downloads may initially be slower due to peer-discovery taking longer. Compatible with Firefox as well.
