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.
