This should also eventually work in Dissenter, as it is built on top of the Brave browser, which is itself built on top of the Chromium Project.

Isn't working at the moment though.

That is my hope. I've been praying that Brave would start doing this.

Just the way they added in TOR and continued to update the functionality is a big help against censorship.

I'm hoping the few other decent browsers like Vivaldi and LibreWolf also add in IPFS support natively.

After that is the .

Opera has IPFS. Awesome tech.

I found a way to do free image hosting, though I don't know for how long: IPFS Lite on Android can host a local image, which can then be viewed in Opera, which then seems to reupload this to its own http url and redirect there, which can then be viewed from any http browser.

Filecoin offers crypto incentives for hosting. There are social networks built on IPFS in polkadot and ethereum, also with incentives.

Ultimately it would be nice to see a purely altruistic network, where pinning content is analogous to facebook shares (yet literally be network sharing), and liking it would index it to increase the probability of it being found by adjacent nodes. I'm not happy with the coin solutions, though I do own some eth and dot in case it turns out coins become the only way to manage a social dapp, and I want to be rich. Any investment ideas are welcome. Bitcoin launched when people were pissed about banks. Now people are pissed about big tech. Calling all entrepreneurs.

Opera was quietly bought out by the Chinese. So just make sure you're not using the built-in password manager.

Hopefully Brave rolls IPFS into their mobile browser.

Never heard of hypercore before.

Will be loooking into that and IPFS further as possible upgrades to pic8.

Thanks for sharing!

If you're interested in the than follow the . This is the browser that supports Hypercore natively and keeps up to date on the main & related projects.

We need easy to use software tools to convert web pages over to Hypercore. Kind of like how Archive.today does when archiving a web site.

These peer to peer technologies can not only speed up the web but also save companies a lot of money in bandwidth & hosting costs.

Can anyone explain to me how IPFS works for me as a standard user? Where do I find links? Is ot like a torrent? How and where will things be downloaded? Need a program to view the content?

is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system.

You can view it in the browser and you'll see IPFS hyperlinks in the browser to load/download the links. Download and install IPFS and enable it in the settings. Both Brave & Dissenter have this feature.

I wish Brave would make a bold step toward a usable interface, like Pale Moon.

I wish Brave would make a bold step to re-writing itself to not be Chrome.

I don't believe Chrome knows all the ways google has put tracking, de-anonymization, etc, into their codebase. I don't think even Google knows where all of that is. I CERTAINLY don't think Brave has been able to remove it all.

Pale Moon has their own issues, goals and internal politics. They also use the older Goanna engine that is still single process.

I understand the point of view of wanting to strengthen FOSS projects and help development. But in some cases its easier and faster to start with a clean slate.

Brave is not built a on Chrome, its built on the open source Chromium. If you're concerned its very easy to run Wireshark to see what's trying to phone home.

Goanna uses multithreading heavily, just in a different way (internally to its components). Because PM is based on XUL, it also has a much richer extension system. And, in the most basic sense, a more powerful and customizable UI.

Chrome/Chromium is a meaningless distinction. Trying to fully audit the entire profile of traffic coming out of a browser in any complex situation, is also simply a massive task - and neither you nor I could single-handedly satisfy it. Worse, it's a moving target. It's not trustable. It just isn't.

Brave browser download .tmp file is infected with Gen:Variant.Ulise.139849

That's nice, maybe give us some more information and context. For example;

Where you downloaded it from.

And what software gave you that information.
