DotBit - A Free Extension That Makes It Easy to Surfing .bit Websites
DotBit works like a regular web browser and allows users to visit domain names (or URLs) from .bit, a peer-to-peer domain system based on Namecoin.
No more installing browsers or signing in with passwords, typing URLs, and waiting for pages to load. Just click and go!
Because.bit domains are managed by the peer-to-peer Namecoin network, the extension allows users to surf websites not operated by a central authority, including the project's official website.
What is a domain?
A domain is a name, address, or subdomain of a website. It can be managed by a central authority, like an organization or company, or by a peer-to-peer domain system, like.bit.
The domain name is what users see when they type a URL into their browser. They may be familiar with the terms of well-known websites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, or even ones they have created themselves. But domains are far more than just names. They include a hostname, where users can upload files, a subdomain for emails, and more.
How does this extension work?
You can use the extension as a standard web browser, but it has a few extra features:
There is no need to install any browser. The extension is a standalone web browser.
The peer-to-peer Namecoin network manages .bit domains, and therefore no central authority can change the domain name.
For the best browsing experience, please ensure your.bit domain is valid.
