I have been a diehard user of the Vivaldi browser for a while now. I just posted the referenced article to their forum stating that Vivaldi should follow suit. Without such support I'll likely change to Brave specifically due to IPFS support. The internet is in desperate need of decentralization.

I'm also a big fan Vivaldi and have been pretty vocal about it. Thanks for taking the time to make this request. I've added a comment of support, so the demand for this has literally doubled in 15 minutes!

I've been using Brave for about three years now as primary driver. It gives me so much hope that Brave is pushing this forward and into mainstream. The web needs to be removed from the control of the select few. The web is for everyone!

See also the Beaker peer-to-peer web browser. I love how much simpler it is to host websites, from the browser - the real read/write web!! I'm not affiliated with them in any way. https://beakerbrowser.com/ https://docs.beakerbrowser.com/faq#what-does-beaker-do-bette...

I'd like to take a look at say ~10 self-hosted sites. How can I get to them? Honest question.

For those interested in IPFS and the Fediverse or just a new Web Platform in general you can check out my little toy project here:

Click "Feed Tab" at the top once inside the app, to meet some other Fedizens.

Maybe they shouldn't have let go the guy who made it happen…

Does Brave support Puppeteer?

For what it's worth, I'm going to give it a try. We need to fight the Internet centralization and censorship that will inevitably come with it all throughout the world.

Which criticisms? I've just started using it after Firefox's blog post

Peter Thiel (Palantir) is one of their main investors. that should raise all alarm bellas for a product that advertises itself with "privacy"

Palantir exists to improve privacy of citizen data within the government. Without it, government workers have massive, untraceable and unaccountable access to private data. (See Snowden for more info.)

I don't like that there's even a need for Palantir, but given the need, I'm glad it exists and I'm glad someone like Thiel is behind it.

Cue the guy with nebulous claims that IPFS going mainstream will lead to "white supremacy" and "alt-right" ideas in 3... 2... 1...

Can anyone compare Brave to Beaker Browser? I've long been interested in Dat vs IPFS, so i'm curious how their browser counterparts behave.

I suppose right off the bat, Brave is a "normal" browser - so it just supports +1 protocol. That's really cool.
