Am I missing something? Beaker requires you to use their browser? Not really apples to apples

[lucideer → super_trooper]

Beaker is a browser that supports http:// and dat:// - you can:

- use Beaker to publish/"host" dat:// websites (as you can use Hearth to publish ipfs websites)

- use Beaker or any dat:// client to browse dat:// websites

- use any browser to browse dat:// websites via http through hashbase.io (similar to eternum.io)

On the cli side, you can also browse/explore dat content with https://github.com/millette/dat-shell

OK, but IPFS sites are just HTTP/S via a gateway. So any browser works. Indeed, there are IPFS gateways on Tor onion services.

The last point mentioned has that too, hashbase.io is a HTTPS gateway for dat://
