Extension summary

This extension was created to make it as easy as possible for people to surf .bit domains.

Bit domains are managed by the peer-to-peer Namecoin network with no central authority. The system is still at an early stage of development but grows rapidly.

The authoritative source for .bit domains is the Namecoin block chain. This means normal DNS servers can currently not be used and surfing .bit domains remains difficult.

This extension is in a very early state of development and needs a lot of work - please do not hesitate to contact me if you want to help with the programming or with bugs or feature suggestions. It is open source and available on Github: https://github.com/Tagide/chrome-bit-domain-extension
