Dane
Support
Dane is a browser for Mac and Windows, built on Firefox ESR, that opens .doge and .pepe names as well as ordinary websites. The same download and the same help apply here, and on dogecoin.surf and pepecoin.surf.
Install on a Mac
- Download Dane-153.7.0esr-mac-universal.dmg from the download page. It runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
- Optional: check the file with shasum -a 256 Dane-153.7.0esr-mac-universal.dmg and compare it with the SHA-256 on the download page.
- Open the .dmg and drag Dane to your Applications folder, then open it from Applications.
Install on Windows
- Download Dane-153.7.0esr-win64.installer.exe from the download page.
- Before you run it, check the file in PowerShell with Get-FileHash .\Dane-153.7.0esr-win64.installer.exe and compare it with the SHA-256 on the download page. If it does not match, delete the file and do not run it.
- This build is not code-signed yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC” and list the publisher as “Unknown publisher”. If the hash matches, click More info, then Run anyway.
Opening .doge and .pepe names
Type a name such as example.doge or example.pepe in the address bar. Dane includes a node for each chain that runs on your computer: .doge names are looked up on Dogecoin (DogeNet) and .pepe names on Pepecoin (PepeNet).
- Right after the first launch, a chain node may still be syncing. If a name page says the node is not ready, wait a minute and reload.
- If a name is not registered, has no TLSA record, or its key does not match, Dane blocks the page instead of showing it. That is on purpose.
- Open about:dane to see each chain node’s status. Each node can be turned on or off in Dane’s settings.
- Ordinary websites work the way they do in Firefox. You can import bookmarks, history and passwords from Firefox.
