Here's something for all you Brave installers to read to try out IPFS:

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.
The Mozilla of 2004 is not the Mozilla of today. With unnecessary proselytizing/virtual signalling, implementing features antithetical to their values (Pocket integration, switching to WebExtensions), pursuing wasteful and fruitless endeavors (FirefoxOS), the company has completely strayed from its main focus: building a solid, open, and free browser. I'm still with them, but I'd be lying if I don't strongly consider moving to Brave every time they come out with actual innovative and exciting features like this.

> Brave already prohibits cookie and data bleed-over from one domain to another. Is that similar to First Party Isolation in Firefox?
I suspect so, but don't know the details of FPI in Firefox. We don't permit cookies and storage access by third-parties, while also blocking known bad-actors entirely. We also "farble" APIs to create noise for those who do have access. If there are any specific scenarios or questions you have in mind, I'd be happy to discuss further.
I don't think it's the same. There is a list of things that Firefox isolates per-domain here [1], it's much more than cookies. There is a Brave ticket here but not much has happened: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/1053

Opera used to support torrents out of the box back in 2006. Good old days.
was going to say this. amazing what can be forgotten and reinvented in an industry moving in circles.
I guess the down votes are by those too young to have lived through a few of those circles.

Re: IPFS Support in Brave
#396Brave is getting more and more my attention lately. I didn't migrate yet, but I am very impressed. The freshness and innovation reminds me of Opera in the early 2000.
I have been a loyal user of Firefox ever since I quit Opera (ironically for it's shitty extensions catalog at the time compared to Firefox), but now I am very frustrated by its lack of meaningful progress and the way they break things and regress quite often while ignoring the feedbacks of the community.
Firefox for Android is a joke, the tabs still behaves in a weird and confusing way, and half a year later I still don't have my extensions back.
I'm also tired by the non-integration of the Chromecast on PC and the fact that it is not even possible to get this as an extension since they killed the ecosystem years ago and didn't give back the features as promised.
Recently the synchronization stopped working on my Android, and like always with Mozilla, the only solution you will find from them to fix a bug is to reset your profile and loose everything.
If Brave implements extensions for Android, I'll definitely migrate and quit Firefox.

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.
Well, in the case of violence it is quite easy to pass judgement and just lock them up. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to those terrorists. Even if they only talk bullshit you should at least try to understand why they became terrorists or else you will just declare more and more people as terrorists because it is the easy way out.
Thats exactly what Karl Popper says.
We should listen to them, aslong as society is strong enough to defend a tolerant society against intolerance.
The question is: When do we reach the point where the defence starts to break?
You could argue that that point is reached when terrorists storm the capitol.
I don't know if we reached that point already. What I do know: If we wait for too long, we reach a state of no return.

#398Mozilla promised us Tor integration, IPFS integration and more private browsing by default. Brave delivered it all.
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...
Ironically the only time I wanted to use this feature was to separate my accounts related to my project and browser extension.
Except that the mozilla 's site does not care about your privacy. Whether you use containers or not, they automatically get your identity from the browser, and then you cannot just be logged out.

Iraq seems a little different to an armed invasion of.. the capitol building. No?
One day, people may actually need to invade the Capitol building, but it will never happen because of your eagerness to create an authoritarian state that shuts down all controversial discourse. If we deplatformed every “violent thug” that did something people didn’t like, you would have a fraction of the rights you have today.
I believe that we passed a controversial discourse, when a certain group of people decided to ignore all reasonable arguments, to ignore sience.
This is not about shutting down all controversial discourse. It is about "defend[ing] a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant". Surpression shall only happen if there is no other way to defend a tolerant society cause the intolerant are working with (massiv, wide spread) violence.
I don't know who is in the position to decide when that point has come. But one could argue that people invading the capitol is that point.(I don't think so)
What I am really worried about, is that it seems like tech companies will have to make those decisions. In the end there will be individual persons, who make that decisons and that is very dangerous.

> Mozilla promised us Tor integration, IPFS integration and more private browsing by default. Brave delivered it all. Interesting. When Mozilla promise this, and what sort of time frame were they talking about? Presumably "more private browsing" has been delivered somewhat already in Firefox?
It was all after Snowdens leaks. Mozilla promised to de-fork Tor browser, move Tor into private browsing. They kept repeating this for years and years.
They even started a bunch of Tor nodes to collect some metrics. It looks like they are removing their blog posts about it

They were very vocal about how web is broken, needs more Tor and IPFS for everything to allow more free speech for disadvantage. Today they promote unregulated censorship, banning and shadow-banning public channels. You will find many posts about it between 2014 and 2018.
