Article summary

Another interesting video from Keír Finlow-Bates


Today I have a brief introduction to the InterPlanetary File System for you, from a browser user's perspective.

People are now familiar with typing HTTPS:// into the address bar of a browser (even though most don't know what it means), and the idea of domains (you know, things like www.thinklair.com), and that web pages are tacked on to the end of domains.

But we're now seing the IPFS making an appearance in some browsers, for example in Brave, where you can type IPFS://

In this episode I talk a bit about what that means, and why it might be significant in the future.
