Homepage: Beaker Browser

Beaker is an experimental browser for exploring and building the peer-to-peer Web.
Beaker also supports a peer-to-peer protocol called Dat, which means you can browse dat:// websites like dat://beakerbrowser.com.

dat:// websites work just like any other webpage. They’re a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that come together to form a webpage. Just like with http:// websites, you can click links, download images, and use developer tools to interact with the page.

How Beaker works - Take Tour
  1. Beaker adds support for a peer-to-peer protocol called Dat. It's the Web you know and love, but instead of HTTP, websites and files are transported with Dat.
  2. Deploy a website from your computer — no server required! Visitors connect directly to each other, sharing your site's files and helping keep it online.
  3. Files are transported with the peer-to-peer network instead of being locked away on a server, so you can explore all the files that make up a website or app.

Sadly it's not possible as the the whole web now is built on JavaScript. So without JavaScript support no browser can exist.

Browsers are probably the most complicated softwares. Doubtful Javascript's the sole hole.
