It's been a few years since I last looked at IPFS and boy has it matured! For those of you that don't know, IPFS stands for the Inter-Planetary File System. Think of it like a giant peer-to-peer CDN.
By running the software anybody can share files and browse other files that are shared. Copies of the files get spread around to everyone else running the software creating this super large cache.
And now they have a Chrome Extension and Firefox Add-On that make browsing the web with embedded IPFS content seamless! If a page has embedded IPFS content, it will automatically translate the URL to either use the public IPFS gateway or your local gateway depending on which is running greatly speeding up the web for you and everybody else!
From here on out every image or video I post going forward will be done via IPFS. I encourage you to do the same!
