Beaker Browser was an experimental peer-to-peer web browser built on Electron that added APIs for hosting 'hostless' applications using the Hypercore/Hyperdrive protocols while remaining compatible with the regular web. The project has been officially archived and is no longer maintained.
Use cases
- browse and publish peer-to-peer websites over the dat/hyperdrive protocol
- build serverless hostless web applications
- experiment with decentralized web APIs in a browser
- self-host websites directly from a desktop browser
- explore p2p web archiving with hypercore
When to choose
- you need to view or archive legacy dat:// or hyper:// content
- you want to study how a p2p browser was implemented
- you are forking or building on the archived codebase
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, secure browser for daily use
- you expect bug fixes or protocol updates
- you need production-grade p2p web hosting today
