Nostr Web Browser

About

🌐 WHAT IS NOSTR WEB?

Nostr Web enables truly decentralized static websites. No servers, no hosting fees, no censorship. Just publish to Nostr relays and anyone can browse your content freely with this extension.

✨ KEY FEATURES

• Transparent Browsing — Just type a domain, automatic Nostr Web detection
• Fast Loading — Parallel relay fetching with smart caching
• Secure — Author verification, SHA256 integrity, sandboxed rendering
• Smart Caching — DNS offline-only, site index always fresh
• Multi-Relay — Fetches from multiple relays for redundancy
• Beautiful UI — Modern, clean interface with loading states
• Offline Support — Works without internet for cached sites
• Smart Prefetching — Hover over links to preload pages instantly
• Content Verification — View publisher info and verification status
• Bandwidth Saver — Optional click-to-load for images and videos

🔒 SECURITY

• Author Verification — DNS record pins site pubkey, all events verified
• SHA256 Integrity — JavaScript assets verified against content hash
• Sandboxed Rendering — Uses Chrome's official sandbox pattern
• CSP Enforcement — Content Security Policy prevents malicious injection
• Rate Limiting — Prevents DNS query abuse and relay flooding

📖 HOW IT WORKS

1. Type any domain in your browser (e.g., example.com)
2. Extension checks for _nweb.<domain> DNS TXT record
3. If found, loads the Nostr Web site from relays
4. Page renders in secure sandboxed environment

Or use the extension icon to manually enter a domain like "nweb.shugur.com"

🎯 USE CASES

• Censorship-resistant blogs and documentation
• Permanent content that can't be taken down
• Decentralized portfolio sites and landing pages
• Community resources and wikis
• Personal websites without hosting costs
