> IPFS [...] relies mostly on centralizing gateways to actually let people access content

No, IPFS does not need gateways: they are conveniences for people that don't have ipfs:// support in their browser or run a local daemon.

That's exactly what I said. I don't appreciate you twisting my words to make a point. No one has IPFS support. I have some IRC friends that are big in to it and they always link the gateways because no one can access their content otherwise.


Yeah, but not no one. It's native in Brave and Opera Touch now.

At some point those ^ extensions should be folded into mainstream browsers unless Big Content pushes against it.
