It's interesting to point out that in addition to Dat support, Beaker initially had support for IPFS as well, but dropped it.

Currently Dat's browser integration model requires the use of a specific browser (Beaker). Not that Beaker isn't awesome; I think Dat would garner more mindshare if it moved to browser-extension-based model like IPFS and didn't require a full installation of a new browser.

I think there is a plugin for firefox in development to enable the usage of dat:// urls. I recall seeing that in my mastodon feed.
