Another commenter mentioned IPNS but another thing that seems to help with this is that the content hash can be a folder containing static files. You can then link to files within the folder using relative links. I guess this avoids having to have IPNS entries for every file?
But how do you let two files link to each other? So A links to B, and B links to A.

There is an extension for everything, that’s not the point. Firefox ships it as standard and supports it as such.
Forgive my ignorance, but I think the thing OP linked is also an addon?

Debatable how significant that is as a difference.

Mozilla seems to be moving in the other direction now. "We need more than deplatforming" https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...
My sense is that this blog post is objectionable to you but I can't quite figure out why.

Does Brave have an implementation of Multi-Account Containers? This is the ONE killer feature in Firefox that makes it impossible for me to leave for Brave completely: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...
For me, somewhat embarrassingly, the one killer feature is the "Send to Device" feature from firefox on iOS. Being able to send links to browser for later reviewing is super useful. Not sure why Edge or other browsers don't implement

> For advanced users: You can also enable Containers without the Multi-Account Containers extension, by changing some preferences in the Configuration Editor (about:config page). Note that you will get a better user experience by installing the extension but, if you choose not to, you can set privacy.userContext.enabled to true, privacy.userContext.ui.enabled to true and privacy.userContext.longPressBehavior to 2 in about:config.

Mozilla makes an entire browser. Brave takes an existing browser (Chromium) and adds some extra features to the UI and networking stack. Modern web browsers are incredibly complex pieces of software. The overwhelming majority of code in Brave's repository is shared with Chromium. What Brave's developers do and what Mozilla's developers do are not comparable.
You’re either saying: Mozilla can’t afford to hire another set of developers to add IPFS, Firefox is too poorly written for this to be reasonably done, or Mozilla doesn’t actually care about the decentralized web to even try. None of the reasons really sheds a good like on Mozilla.

Yes, Firefox need to focus on a usecase. It may not be able to beat chromium right now, but a working IPFS and TOR right inside your "vanilla" Firefox would give a compelling reason to keep it, when you can install chromium/chrome/edge and get better features - except this one!
> working IPFS and TOR right inside your "vanilla" Firefox would give a compelling reason to keep it For 3 people? I don't think IPFS is going to impact market share. Firefox does provide privacy.

And we will continue to deliver :) Thank you for the support!
I've been using Firefox since its inception, and was a Netscape user before that. I _briefly_ tried Chrome, but swiftly returned to Firefox. Half my extensions are still broken on Firefox Android. I've been using Firefox desktop on my PinePhone off-and-on and not only do all of my extensions work, but it's snappy and has a superior UX. I can actually access and manage my bookmarks with a sane interface. And yet even…
