Blockstack has made a new decentralized internet browser using the same blockchain that's made for Bitcoin that makes purchases and buyers somewhat anonymous although the effects of that has in the past been shown to not be really effective over time just ask the guys that ran the Silk Road Site on the Tor Browser. But Blockstack's purpose is to improve security more than making the web more anonymous.
The browser is basically a add-on for Chrome users and currently there's not too much to offer through the add-on unless you want to develop apps for it so it's not really ready for primetime but the start-up says that they will hopefully have it ready for users within 6 months. Right now you can download the add-on if you want to develop apps for it through Github however it's only available for Mac and Linux Users, a Windows versions will be released later on. My view on it is I hope this will be used for more than security in the future and hopefully it will evolve into a seperate web browser if this takes off, fingers crossed though.
