This is clearly made as a joke but also could serve as a proof of concept.

All of that and Custom DNS? Sounds like a pet project with scope issues.

This is awesome. Finally an experimental browser that tries to do something differently.

It's able to parse HTML and CSS and put stuff on the screen + it's dynamic. It's like the web in 2005 or something and written by one dude.

Love projects like these. It could actually be the basis for something.

I only want my web to be pvp

Gotta beat your opponent before you can load a website. Would the opponent be the website owner or someone else trying to load it though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Definitely every other person trying to load the website at that time, in a big burly brawl battle arena.

There is also overthewire warzone, a private network simulating the entire ipv4 internet, where any device is fair game for hacking.

BeakerBrowser should serve that niche.

It doesn't look like it offers any privacy but it's a huge project. I'll see how it goes. I'm already not very optimistic about it though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's like reinventing the wheel, one that's been going strong.

Well the internet is now extremely bloated, outdated and monopolized. Sometimes you need a new thing, especially when nobody is ever going to fix the old one. Alternatives are always good to have as well. I'm not saying that the internet should be replaced though, just analyzing

Dot hWhat now?

What does it solve? I remember reading it was supposed to make the web easier, but it's just another transport and one could push JS, CSS, WASM, or anything through it. One could even extend chromium to support it as an alternative to HTTP.

I'm not entirely sure of its purpose.

It's not really designed to solve anything. It just exists. The cool thing about it is advertisements are not possible natively. There is also no JS. So no creepy ass trackers. It's basically like the very early days where JS or CSS was not a thing. Just markdown. With the additional security and privacy stuff of the modern web like encryption.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

You can still be tracked pretty heavily with other metadata and things like TLS fingerprinting etc.

What I really want is to read asciidoc or makrup as static page in koreader except the dynamic table part. I personally think static ebook is the most efficient way to read except the dynamic table part(sorting, show/hide col, simple filter), so can anyone please tell me if this project can achieve it?

CSS ruined the internet and it will ruin this as well.
