Beaker is a discontinued[4] free and open-source web browser[5] developed by Blue Link Labs.[6][7] Beaker Browser peer-to-peer technology allows users to self-publish websites and web apps[8] directly from the browser, without the need to set up and administrate a separate web server or host their content on a third-party server. All files and websites are transferred using Dat, a hypermedia peer-to-peer protocol, which allows files to be shared and hosted by several users.[9] The browser also supports the HTTP protocol to connect to traditional servers.[5]
Beaker is built using the Electron framework and therefore uses the Chromium browser as a renderer for webpages.[10]
