Using P2P Hypermedia, Beaker separates frontend apps from backend services, so that users are completely in control of their software and data. Read more. + +Beaker is a fork of the open source Chromium browser (which is the core engine powering Google's Chrome browser). + +Beaker adds the ability to host sites within the browser, and browse to those sites via the `dat://` protocol. The extraordinary thing is that if you are running Beaker then you can also browse to sites hosted by other users, without needing any server in between. + +Further, you can opt to host a site belonging to somebody else, forming part of a Bittorrent-like swarm of peers serving the content to other browsers. You can also //fork// a site, making your own copy that you can change as you need. + +The main disadvantage is that mainstream browsers cannot use `dat://` sites. + +Most of the magic is accomplished by the underlying [[Dat protocol|https://datproject.org/]]. + +<<.from-version "5.1.14">> TiddlyWiki incorporates a special saver module permitting changes to be saved directly from Beaker browser.
