The Cliqz browser implements the Dat protocol. Here's a writeup on the implementation: https://www.0x65.dev/blog/2020-03-02/implementing-the-dat-pr...

Disclosure: I work at Cliqz.

I didn't know about Cliqz. I'm always curious about new browsers. I just installed it, but it does not open "almonit.eth". Any idea why? Maybe I did something wrong. Still I see the following "There are at least five browsers with native support for ENS+IPFS websites. That means you can just type “almonit.eth/” into the URL bar and it should work without special extensions." on https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/all-the-ways-yo...

"almonit.eth" is not a Dat website, but a ENS+IPFS website. Cliqz supports Dat. You can check out some Dat websites and apps here: https://hashbase.io/

And check out Beaker Browser for more info! (Beaker itself doesn't work on mobile, but it's a really cool browser.)

Thanks for linking, I'll check it out! I'm occasionally running Beaker Browser to publish my https-first website also over dat, but I'd gladly switch to a better dat-capable browser.

By the way, there is also a dat sdk (called "dat-sdk") that works in conventional web browsers!
