ABOUT
IPFS Companion harnesses the power of your locally running IPFS node (either through the IPFS Desktop app or the command-line daemon) directly inside your favorite browser, enabling support for ipfs:// addresses, automatic IPFS gateway loading of websites and file paths, easy IPFS file import and sharing, and more.
IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, more resilient, and more open. It enables the creation and dissemination of completely distributed sites and applications that don’t rely on centralized hosting and stay true to the original vision of an open, flat web. Visit https://ipfs.io to learn more.
FEATURES
– Automatically use IPFS to retrieve sites, files, and other resources already stored on IPFS (including redirecting DNSLink hostnames to IPNS names via your choice of gateway)
– Support content-addressed IPFS paths (/ipfs/) and URIs (ipfs://) in your browser, and redirect them to the gateway of your choice
– Share files from your browser by importing them to your local IPFS node via right-click or drag-and-drop, including the option to preload files at a public gateway
– See how many peers you’re connected to at a glance from your browser’s menu bar
– Check gateway info and API status with a single click
– Copy shareable links, snapshot links, IPNS/IPFS paths, and CIDs for IPFS-hosted sites
– Common IPFS tasks — like pinning files and launching your IPFS Web UI dashboard — are available right in your browser
– Options to toggle IPFS redirects globally or per website
– Choose between connecting to your local IPFS node via the HTTP API or running a js-ipfs node directly in your browser
IMPORTANT NOTE
Although you can run a js-ipfs node directly in your browser when using IPFS Companion, you’ll need to have a local IPFS node running on your computer to enjoy all IPFS Companion’s features — either from your terminal or using the friendly, free IPFS Desktop app. Visit https://ipfs.io to learn more and install.

when i updated it from github new version after that it stopted working
Great integration with Brave’s implementation
Amazing!
Google Chrome х64, при установленном приложении совместно с плагином, инет грузиться очень медленной, хуже чем через бесплатный VPN плагин. Удалил.
Может быть будет полезным, в будущем, а может и нет. Я так понимаю что упирается в совокупную пропускную способность пиров, как в торрент сети.
К сожалению сетевой социализм в таких вещах не работает.
Causes mouse cursor to enter a busy state every second or so.
装了这个扩展以后，chrome必须挂代理才能访问包括国内网站在内的所有网页……
excuse me？？？？？？
我挂知乎半天问为什么chrome升级87版本打开网页超级慢，然后挨个删除扩展，最后发现原来是这个扩展的问题！！！！
Why did I upload the file and report an error：Unable to import to IPFS:TypeError: Failed to fetch
Just add this extension to the Brave Browser. In settings pick the IPFS Node type to be “Embedded + chrome.sockets (experimental) and your browser becomes your own node on the Decentralized Web.
Amazing.
I haven’t found a bug so far. Works flawlessly and fast with a local daemon 🙂
Worked GREAT for a long time, but for the past several weeks, my laptop has been taking FOREVER to load ANY web page. Speed tests and DNS tests showed there was nothing wrong with those. I started disabling extensions one by one and narrowed the problem down to this one. Please Fix and I’ll move it back up to 5 stars!
This plus IPFS Desktop (https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop) makes my IPFS browsing experience seamless! Love it.
Works perfectly, and comes with great setup instructions. 5/5
Worked before, now it tells me I have to check the browser console.
Unable to initialize addon due to error Error: Invalid value for argument 2. Property ‘.2’: Value must be one of: [requestHeaders, blocking].

Aaaaaaand it’s dead.
Works great. We need more IPFS in our lives!
Didn’t connect!
Fantastic work by the IPFS team. Everyone who uses IPFS in any capacity should definitely install it!
BRILLIANT APPORACH.. VERY SMOOTH WITH AKASHA.. I NOW HOPE MINDS.COM AND OTHER RINKEBY NETWORK USERS WILL START USING IT… BLESSING FOR BRILLIANT WORK.. PSG..
The embedded JS version worked with Akasha. But I wonder how much memory it takes up? How do you pin something, and how much memory do pinned items take?
works perfectly on chromium 64
It does what it promises.
