Brave browser takes step towards enabling a decentralized web

  > First browser to fully integrate the new IPFS protocol For all y'all lucky 10,000, the interplanetary file system is a bit like bittorrent over a single swarm. This helps decentralize the web. Interesting stuff, but I'm more of a DAT/hypercore guy myself ;)

  Not really first. Beaker supported IPFS and DAT in 2016: https://pfrazee.hashbase.io/blog/beaker-browser-0.1 https://pfrazee.hashbase.io/blog/beaker-browser-0.1 They subsequently dropped IPFS "because we prefer Dat's URL spec and its builtin version logs": https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/issues/455 https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/issues/455
