Beaker The browser for a decentralised internet Subject description: use AppImage for 64-bit systems and discover the Dat protocol |
|
https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/using-beaker/
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.

Beaker doesn't complain about running as root |
|
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."

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