Brave Browser, a pop blockchain-enabled spider web browser, has integrated native back up of InterPlanetary File System, or IPFS, to strengthen the admission to the decentralized web.

According to a Jan. 19 announcement, Brave has integrated IPFS into its desktop web browser for Windows, macOS and Linux, enabling users to install the protocol in a couple of clicks.

IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to brand the spider web faster, safer, and more than open. The protocol aims to supplement or possibly even replace the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, which is a major client-based protocol used to transfer web pages across a network. In the announcement, Brave pinpointed some crucial bug associated with HTTP:

"The underlying protocol of the web today is HTTP, which dictates where ability exists in those applications. HTTP puts publishers in consummate command of service availability and data access, making end users passive receivers instead of having agency in the relationship."

As such, the IPFS integration with Brave browser is a big stride toward redefining existing internet architecture, putting individuals in control instead of publishers, Dauntless said. "IPFS changes this dynamic past enabling direct advice and sharing between users over a cooperative public network," the house added.

The initial release of native back up for IPFS provides bones node functionality, and Brave plans to introduce more IPFS implementations in 2021 including adding IPFS support to Brave's Android browser. The firm will besides experiment with integrating the features and economic models of the Brave network's utility token, Basic Attending Token (BAT) and Filecoin (FIL).

Dauntless is not the but company actively experimenting with IPFS. In March 2020, Opera browser officially released IPFS native addressing in their Android browser, introducing default back up for IPFS on Android 57.
