Weeeell, it's exposing protocol handlers we have use for together with for example ipfs-companion, but a IPFS core implementation won't be bundled in Firefox 59. But it's great progress none the less :)

First, quick status update for drive-by visitors :-)

  • IPFS In Web Browsers has a dedicated repo now: https://github.com/ipfs/in-web-browsers
  • Browser Extension for Firefox and Chromium: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-companion
    • Brave IPFS Integration - Roadmap and discussion: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/819

@bleonard252 not sure what is your current plan, but it would be really cool to look into porting libdweb APIs to Chromium. The most complete and important one being Experimental Protocol Handler API. Having that API, your Chromium-based browser would be able to delegate IPFS support to our extension (see wip PR with that API) and get all related features and future updates for free.

IPFS coming to Firefox 59: pyllyukko/user.js#366

why not chrome? @Atavic

Don't know if Chrome has anything related to IPFS. But Chrome cannot be trusted, IMHO

Atavic avatar Oct 07 '18 22:10 Atavic

but the market share of chrome is there :.-( @Atavic

delegate IPFS support to our extension

That's not what I want. If it relies on the extension, it won't work on Android.

bleonard252 avatar Oct 08 '18 16:10 bleonard252

@spyhole Sure, but most of the Chrome users don't even know about alternatives.

Atavic avatar Oct 08 '18 16:10 Atavic

yes, but.., yes too.

Chromium updates related to basic (redirect-based) protocol handler:

That's not what I want. If it relies on the extension, it won't work on Android.

If you are using Firefox for Android, the same extension should work:

I'm using Chromium. Maybe I should use Firefox instead though?

bleonard252 avatar Oct 09 '18 10:10 bleonard252

now, the browser war finished. the Google chrome is the winner after microsoft IE (Chromium version, https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-building-chromium-powered-web-browser-windows-10), so I say IPFS should support Chromium!!!

ghost avatar Dec 08 '18 22:12 ghost

Lets make IPFS on Chromium, come on babys !

ghost avatar Dec 09 '18 05:12 ghost

We could also try to add IPFS support to Firefox.

Unstoppable Domains have created a browser (demo) that resolves the IPFS content connected with .crypto and .zil blockchain domains. Download here. Video here

Note: Discussion on applications of IPFS are happening over in the IPFS Forums now ... please continue the discussion there!

This issue is being moved over to the archived repo https://github.com/ipfs/apps/ for reference.
