Brave is using IPFS for file storage but once the content address (CID) is known anyone can access the file you're looking for. So it remains to be seen how they will leverage IPFS to create scarcity of digital items for their merchandise store. It is a step backward and not what IPFS goals were. A huge number of books are currently on IPFS through libgen, and scihub is going to IPFS eventually. Web3 is just a step back from the greatness that the internet could be. With "decentralized" oracles (3 mining pools control Eth), and centralized front facing websites simply verifying some hash of something.
