From my understanding this is essentially a web-browser, but instead of downloading the HTML/CSS/JS of the site from a single HTTP server, it uses the BitTorrent protocol to download the HTML from a variety of different nodes.
So it's like sharing an HTML file using BitTorrent, but it seamlessly downloads and renders the content just like a normal browser. Benefit is that there's no central server. The HTML comes from many different peers.
I don't get it how would one download changes for the site though. Say for example the sites updates with new content. How would peers come to consensus on the latest version?
