Decentralising the internet is a way to bring more privacy to the Web and help secure the Web against hackers.

It stems from news that shaked the world years ago : that there was massive surveillance from governements and corporations. Edward Snowden was the catalyst to a series of change towards more privacy and security.

Beaker is a new kind of browser that gives you the power to create websites, share files, and control your data.

At the heart of Beaker is a peer-to-peer network for sharing all kinds of content.

Create a site, add the files, and send the URL to your recipient (e.g., using a chat program). It’s encrypted from end-to-end so that you have total privacy.

Of course, Beaker works great as a regular Web browser too. It’s built using Chromium, the Free and Open Source engine from Google Chrome.

Hi labbe5,

Nice find.

I haven't done anything with it yet, beyond downloading the AppImage, changing permissions to executable by anyone and starting the application. I expected to be confronted by a "Can't run as root", but wasn't.

It's based on Chromium 59.0.3071.115 and comes with the notice "Sorry! Beaker auto-updates are only supported on the production build for MacOS and Windows. You will need to build new versions of Beaker from source."

Thanks labbe5,
Will see how it works in Fatdog.

The main problem I see is that private and/or shared peer2peer websites are not searchable.
