Can anyone compare Brave to Beaker Browser? I've long been interested in Dat vs IPFS, so i'm curious how their browser counterparts behave.
I suppose right off the bat, Brave is a "normal" browser - so it just supports +1 protocol. That's really cool.
- VoxPelli 6y agoJust a note that it's nowadays not `dat:` but `hyper:`, a rename of the protocol, that's used by Beaker: https://hypercore-protocol.org/ https://hypercore-protocol.org/
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoI know they renamed it, but something inside me want me to keep saying dat. It's familiar.
- VoxPelli 6y agoSame here, and it’s more specific than “hyper”
- kickscondor 6y agoBeaker also supports regular web links - but Brave also supports Tor websites. However, Beaker has its own extended web API and tooling. You can fork websites, edit them - and you can script this functionality. (For example, I have a wiki software in Beaker that will handle all the forking and editing behind the scenes - using Javascript to make it happen.) You could say that Brave is a read-only HTML browser with wide support for decentralization protocols. While Beaker is a read-write HTML browser with its own protocol. And they both use the regular web as well.
