View “dat://” Websites in a GeckoFx Web Browser

Question

I'm building a blockchain-themed web browser in a C# .NET Windows Form Application and want to allow users to view sites using the dat:// protocol. I have found several repositories online but none of them seem to be for C# or close to what I want.

I've already tried using the Dat P2P Protocol Firefox addon but the setup was too difficult and I'd have to figure out how to add extensions to the browser in the first place.

Answer 1

Currently there's only one implementation of Dat, which is built for NodeJS. There's a rust implementation being developed as well.
