I experimented with Beaker Browser[1] and explored some dat:// pages. It reminded me when I first used the Tor Browser. Most of the pages looked like they were Geocities pages, and the same goes for dat:// pages - they are like something from the late nineties web. So much for the term 'Web 3.0'

- tyingq 8y ago"dat:// websites work just like any other webpage. They’re a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that come together to form a webpage" So there's nothing technical driving that dated look and feel...
- solarkraft 8y agoIt might be the user base.
- octosphere 8y agoYeah but I think it's the type of users creating the webpages. They sloppily throw together some HTML & CSS and it leads to this dated Geocities look and feel. (No jQuery powered single page application which hogs memory and heats up your CPU)
- staticvar 8y agoI love the geocities feel :-). I'm not expecting Web 3.0 to look any different from the Web we know today. Instead it will be a Web that respects user's privacy and at the same time a Web that is more cost efficient for large companies who want cut their hosting costs and stop forking over heaps of cash to their competitors (Amazon, Google).
