IPFS support in Brave is here!

Interesting 🤔
Even though Brave is a joke.

Haven't we done this before?

I get the use for P2P in video applications, but like all attempts before this, it will probably fail due to a lack of adoption.

And brave?
Really?

Tell me again how your ad riddled "ad free" browser is going for you 🤷‍♂️

@C0D4 to be totally fair, there are IPFS extensions for almost every major browser. It's not Brave exclusive

This exactly same functionality has been around for ages in the form of torrents and other p2p software. There's no added benefit over existing, well-adapted solutions. You can't use it to access any form of dynamic content, because any change in content will result in a different URL. And if you need to send a new, publicly accessible URL to someone behind a censorship wall every time you want to provide them with new data, you might as well include the entire data in the message.

IPFS claims to be a combination of web, git, and bittorrent, yet it doesn't support dynamic content like web does (to have a static URL where you can add content), it doesn't have authentication and signing like git does (to verify the source of content), and it doesn't provide basic privacy like bittorrent does (to only share content other nodes already know about, instead of sharing a full list of your content with all nodes).

Fuck Brave

What is the hate with brave? I actually like it.

Brave is a scam.

@Katakompe brave is advertised as a savior to internet with all the built in ad blocking, some attempts to use some sort of crypto as a replacement for ad infested web and other gimmicks, while serving their own ads under the hood and being a subpar experience overall, because even the built in ad blocker just does not do its job well.

If you want a good chrome experience, use Vivaldi or Chromium stripped of Google integrations. If you want even better experience, just use Firefox.

@iiii I'm with you on the point that it is not the savior of the internet.

However I felt the integrated Adblocker works pretty well and you can disable single 3rd Party cookies or scripts if it also blocks some website functionality.

The ad and reward system is AFAIK optonal and deactivated by default. I hve it switched on bc I'm curious where its going. The few € I get in their crypto coin I usually directly give to wikipedia as they accept it on their page.

Apart from that it just feels like a slightly faster Google chrome.
Didnt know there was so much hate for it.
