you can use eth.sucks as ipns/ipfs gateway in Opera browser to make it faster to load /ens websites!

Seeing Opera in 2024 is wild.

Firefox I feel like fell off in the early 2010s.

Brave is okay.

Arc I really wanted to like but can’t get past their direction with the UI.

Opera though? Might have to revisit!

brave removed their ipfs feature entirely in august

i was quite disappointed, and started to research other ways for /ens website support in browsers.

things are probably not looking great for ipfs this year. ipfs dev team "graduated" from protocol labs and formed a new entity to sell consulting services. brave removed feature. cloudflare no longer provides a gateway. biggest referral traffic to pinata gateway is pirated ebooks. well, as long as some indie hackers still truly need ipfs in some passion projects, i hope it will find a way.

Honestly it makes sense. It makes me wonder if all this truly is still very early or it's just fringe in the way Urbit is (minus the baggage of having a problematic founder)
