A team of web enthusiasts introduced the P2P browser Beaker
In the wake of a discussion of the possible monopolization of the cloud services market by IT giants like Google Cloud and AWS, an increasing number of decentralized projects are declaring themselves. One recent example is the open P2P browser Beaker .
It is developed in partnership with a team that supports the Dat project . It, like the new browser, is based on the D2 P2P protocol .

The goal of the project is to provide the ability to create and host websites "directly in the browser." To do this, it is enough to make in the literal sense of the word “a couple of clicks”: create a local folder and share the corresponding URL (demo video ).
Beaker allows visitors to your website to copy its contents and place torrents in their own way by analogy with the "re-seeding". For a local copy, you can make forks and implement any changes.
In parallel with the launch of the P2P browser, the team decided to “link” this project with the real world using its own Hashbase cloud service. It allows you to maintain constant access to Dat-sites, whose local copies are offline. At the same time, a Hashbase copy of the site will not be assigned a higher priority than those located on other nodes.
Beaker does not offer the so-called “browsing privacy” - all URL owners for a particular site “see” the devices that host it or try to gain access. At the same time, one of the key features of Browser is secure file sharing using the Dat protocol. Read more about it here . Dat protocol documentation is located here .

When content is sent, the Dat ( Distributed Dataset Synchronization and Versioning ) protocol, specifically designed for transmitting data within a distributed network, is used.
