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.

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)

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.

pinata and filebase are two ipfs companies. they provide similar products and compete. but if you compare their similarweb ranking, pinata is much bigger. why? if you take a look at pinata's traffic sources on similarweb, you will notice a mystery website: breadl.org. i guess it is probably a domain of z-lib. search for "breadl.org" in reddit you willl see what it is really for.

Indie hackers + 90% of every NFT ever made 😩

Though say more about those ebooks...
