Curent Monero blockchain explorer websites exist in the clearnet. Although useful,
their limitations are that they use JavaScript, have images
([might be used for coockless tracking](http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/)),
track users activates through google analytics, are not open sourced, and are not
available as hidden services. These things are of importance
for privacy-oriented users.
Curently avaliable Monero blockchain explorer websites exist in the clearnet. Although useful, they have several limitations which or of special importance to priavcy-oriented users:
In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. It is build in C++,
and it not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to
use:
- they use JavaScript,
- have images which might be used for [coockless tracking](http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/)),
- track users activates through google analytics,
- are closed sourced,
- are not available as hidden services, and
- have very only basic search capapilites.
