It is easier for Brave to deliver new features when the biggest work is done by Chrome team.
It was easy for Google to deliver Chrome when the biggest work was done by Safari team... It was easy for Apple to deliver Safari, when biggest work was done by Konqueror team...
Massive. I have a project that assumed ipfs:// would eventually exist natively within a mainstream(-ish) browser, and I'm very pleased to discover that after updating to 1.19.x it all just works. Excited for the forthcoming DNSLink support too, even if it's just a bridge to something even better. Best of luck to everyone who wants the web to stay bundled inside of the corporate state.
It is not the first time that I have looked at IPFS and I still have a hard time understanding how the ecosystem is going to work. From my understanding, the file hash is basically the file URL, such that any change to the file content is a change to the file url as well. For hosting something like Wikipedia, how would one create pages that link to one another? And if indexes need to be created on top of the content,…
https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/ipns/ Quoth: IPFS uses content-based addressing; it creates an address of a file based on data contained within the file. If you were to share an IPFS address such as /ipfs/QmbezGequPwcsWo8UL4wDF6a8hYwM1hmbzYv2mnKkEWaUp with someone, you would need to give the person a new link every time you update the content. The InterPlanetary Name System (IPNS) solves this issue by creating an addre…

The funny part is that this is the bio in Mozilla’s twitter: “We work to ensure the internet remains a public resource that is open and accessible to all.” I guess by “all” they mean only people with political opinions they support.
In case you're unfamiliar: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance Unfortunately part of making things "open and accessible to all" means revoking access to people who would weaponize the internet to contradict those goals. A tolerant society means no tolerance for terrorists.
I don’t know anything about IPFS and would like to know more. When I visit an HTTPS URL I see content and some authenticity (of the server, at least) tied with the transport mechanism. IPFS provides the content and a distributed transport. Does the protocol include authentication of the author? Is it up to the content author to include their own signature protocol outside of IPFS? [If you post an ipfs:// link claimin…
If for example NYT tweeted an IPFS hash, you could trust the content was from them.

I am that person. I moved away from Brave because its still chrome/chromium based. I am also not confident in their "blockchain" advertising model and don't trust they are actually any less private with my data than chrome/chromium. It would be cool to see IPFS integrated and enabled by default on all browsers. I doubt Google would ever take the leap, but maybe Mozilla would. I also have doubt that Microsoft would bu…
You don't have to participate in the advertising bits of Brave; those are optional. But, they're a privacy-centric way to generate rewards which can be passively contributed to your favorite sites, sustaining their content creation. I would love to hear more about your privacy concerns; we have excised quite a bit from Chromium. You can read about those changes [on GitHub]( https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki…

I see less than 1% cpu usage and 200mb memory usage and 4% spikes while serving my personal website or fetching an IPFS resource. (Though on a Linux system I also modified the low water setting up to 1000 peers and the high water setting to 2000 peers)
Yeah I just tried downloading the latest version and it looks much better now. I remember I tried ~3 years ago or so and it was horribly inefficient, so I deleted it, then gave it another shot around a year ago and came to the same conclusion. But yes, from running it ~10 minutes just now, it looks quite reasonable.
I don't think I'm going to adopt this.

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
Works great, though I needed to whitelist some domains on PiHole for it to function.

It really is great to see challenger browsers pushing the web forward like this. Along with IPFS it's nice to see Tor integration, low-level content blocking, a privacy-respecting Zoom alternative ( https://together.brave.com/ ) and integrated MetaMask for Web3. Brave still has a small userbase (~24 million), but hopefully it creates the space / incentives for Firefox and others to play catch-up so we see a lot of th…

I'm not terribly familiar with all the features that Multi-Account Containers offer. Does SessionBox for Chrome not meet your needs for some specific reason?
