It's actually not too far off - IPFS is already capable of running a full js-ipfs node in a WebExtension's background page and expose its API to content pages. What's missing is minor things like streaming to/from the background page, and WebRTC in the background page.
For proper ipfs:// protocol support in the address bar and in links, a better protocol handlers API in WebExtensions is required though, which will take some more time. Basically right now with the ipfs-companion extension, ipfs:// URLs get rewritten to http:// http://.
