False, it is fully peer to peer. The browser, even with WebRTC, can't do full P2P, but that isn't gun's fault, because if you run a NodeJS peer it can and will be fully P2P. And you can you mix these together.
You're right that it's not gun's fault you can't do direct p2p in a browser, I guess my point is that this is one reason why people keep making browser forks and plugins
Ahhh, thanks for clarifying. Good point. Yes, that is true, but my concern is if we tie the dApp to strongly to these forks or plugins we also can only grow the user base as fast as users who are willing to install and use these alternatives - which I believe just shoots our own growth in the foot.
Instead, if we make it work out of the browser by default, then we can get much better user adoption and then optionally ask users to opt into more secure and reliable alternatives after they have already built trust with us and been won over. Does that make sense? Thoughts?
