So if i am not misunderstanding with dusk browser node we will mine tokens. But my question is, it will be like classic pow? I mean better cpu means better tokens or nearly the same outcome with all computers if they can work chrome properly?

Also i am wondering what is the difference of malicious version? When i try this, my earned dusks turned into zero and started to fail continuosly.

The Dusk browser node does not mine tokens. It lends processing power to the Dusk network to verify ZK proofs, not dissimilarly from the process envisioned by the truebit protocol. It is NOT proof of work (where miners uselessly compute the pre-image of a sha256 hash) since the consensus does not depend on it in the slightest. It is rather helping the network with verification of various zero-knowledge proofs in order to lighten the CPU load of the full nodes. The aim is to expand these browser nodes into full fledge block generators (which will participate to the consensus and get the rewards when they produce an accepted block) or verifiers (who can verify a zero-knowledge computation on behalf of the network).
The malicious mode simulates a node acting maliciously on the network (i.e. telling the server that the proof is valid when it is not or that it is invalid when it actually is valid). It is a way for us to test the slashing algorithm in case a node acts against the protocol.

Is there any data on how much of an impact the verification of ZK proofs has on your processing power?
