#### Beaker Browser

Beaker is an experimental peer-to-peer browser. Just like other browsers, you can browse `http://` and `https://` websites. Beaker also supports a peer-to-peer protocol called Dat, which means you can browse `dat://` websites like dat://beakerbrowser.com.

`dat://` websites work just like any other webpage. They’re a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that come together to form a webpage. Just like with `http://` websites, you can click links, download images, and use developer tools to interact with the page.

`dat://` is a peer-to-peer protocol, which means that visitors to a `dat://` site connect directly to one another, downloading and sharing files. Participants on the network are called peers, and when a peer contributes bandwidth to re-upload a site’s files, it’s called seeding.
