Support ipfs:// resources |
|||
Issue descriptionIPFS (https://ipfs.io/) is a protocol for peer-to-peer, content addressable storage and "aims to replace HTTP". It lets peers share resources to save internet bandwidth, works on LANs without any internet access, and resists censorship (the project just launched a mirror of Turkish Wikipedia after wikipedia.org became inaccessible in Turkey: https://ipfs.io/blog/24-uncensorable-wikipedia/). The project has an HTTP gateway (e.g https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX/wiki/), but that lacks most of the benefits of IPFS (speed, decentralization). It would be interesting if Chrome had native support for loading resources from IPFS. - - - Note: I'm making this bug to track interest in IPFS + Chrome, including my own. It *does not* mean that the Chromium project has any official plans to support IPFS.

Punting this out of the network stack triage queue.

I don't think we're interested in supporting IPFS at this time.

IPFS support will be added on MOZ 59. (ie: check this post https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1354807) I think that IPFS is a way to get the web better / Faster and Smatter in some case ( It's just an opinion) Support of ipfs:// will enable companies like U AKA GOOGLE (YT) to reduce the amount of bandwidth you use every day. If you reduce the amount of bandwidth you will save a lot of money. -> Remember Less Is More Chrome is a tool, don't fear to improve it.

It doesn't sound to me like FireFox is supporting ipfs, but rather allowing extensions to handle the protocol, which is rather different. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/01/26/extensions-firefox-59/ - "Firefox itself does not implement these protocols, but having them on the approved list means the browser recognizes them as valid protocols and extensions are free to provide implementations." |
