Agregore is a minimal web browser for the distributed web.
Agregore works by letting you load web pages and content from peer to peer protocols the same way you would load them from a website.
Agregore not only supports loading data through custom protocols, but it also provides APIs for uploading data into peer to peer protocols. This is done via the browser’s fetch() API which is what web developers use to talk to web servers over HTTP or HTTPS.
This is free and open source software.
