    1. @strypey thiscould work for media but most pages are dynamic and it makes them unique per visitor which makes this not really work practical

      1. @goldbrush what makes pages dynamic is scripts (usually Javascript), not the use of HTTP to transfer files from a central server

        1. @goldbrush Maelstrom works like a normal browser, it just replaces HTTP with BitTorrent, reducing bottlenecks and increasing redundancy

          1. @strypey ok, if it works, it works :)

            1. @goldbrush I'd love to see someone try a fully libre implementation of the # idea, but how different would that be to #?

              1. @goldbrush or #, or good old #, which has been around since 2000, but with very limited uptake

                1. @goldbrush something that made using # server networks easy to install and as user-friendly as browsing the web could be a step forward
