In great news IPFS is now supported in Brave. I switched to Brave about 6 months ago, mostly because I’m interested in privacy (Duh!) but also micro-payments as an alternative to an ad supported web. Definitely interested in trying to host some content here on FieldOfVR to demonstrate some of these technologies.

IPFS, the peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the Web faster, safer, and more open, has been integrated into Brave, the fast, privacy-oriented browser, reinventing the Web for users, publishers and advertisers. 

 Incorporated into today’s Brave desktop browser update (version 1.19),
Brave’s 24 million monthly active users can now access content directly
from IPFS by resolving ipfs:// URIs via a gateway or installing a full
IPFS node in one click. When installing a full node, this will allow
Brave users to load content over IPFS’ p2p network, hosted on their own
node.  Integrating IPFS provides Brave users with a significantly
enhanced browsing experience, increasing the availability of content,
offloading server costs from the content publisher, and improving the
overall resilience of the Internet.
