Okay, Beaker is underground. But, for the moment I see no real difference between the interesting functionalities of this browser and a private FTP server. How can we combine the anonymity of DAT files/site and a SEO? Is it possible? Tor is another example of poor efficiency because of poor SEO. A network without a serious search engine is practically useless. Could Beaker pass the pedo-nazi-dealer test? Here is the crucial question... ;)

How can we combine the anonymity of DAT files/site and a SEO?

I wouldn't describe the primary quality of Dat as "anonymity." It's anonymous in the same sense that, if you setup an HTTPS server without a domain name and then never share the IP, people are unlikely to find it. Dat is anonymous in that sense, though also it's harder to find, because the addresses are 32-bytes in size (way harder to guess).

The main value of Dat is how it makes publishing *very* easy because you don't need servers. One click to make a website.

But, to your main question:

How can we combine the anonymity of DAT files/site and a SEO? Is it possible?

For sure. You could easily setup a Dat-Web crawler and search engine, just like an HTTPS-Web crawler.

Could Beaker pass the pedo-nazi-dealer test?

Dat doesn't automatically push any data to other users. You have to navigate to a site to download it, and then it'll be temporarily cached (and removed eventually) if you don't explicitly save it. People who are doing nasty things should not get into your life via Dat.

You could? Do you mean me? :D
