Just wanted to browse ipfs. So I went here :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System
it says... :
Opera (browser) for Android has default support for IPFS, allowing mobile users to browse ipfs:// links to access data on the IPFS network.
So I just need one “ipfs:// links” right ?
… let’s find one !
So I navigate through these... :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filecoin https://filecoin.io/ https://filscan.io/tipset/chain/ https://filscan.io/miner/f01043193/
There, I finally get a link which I try and… it crashes the browser !
Do you know an easy way to get to one of those links (ipfs://) from a browser ?
Depends on the browser. I know brave has support for direct ipfs links. There may be others. Chrome & Firefox do not iirc. It looks like you’ll need to use a ipfs gateway. I’m on my phone, so I don’t have any gateway links handy. Search for ipfs gateway on your favorite search engine. Paste your link there, you should be good to go. I think you can browse vain the ipfs desktop app, if that’s an option, but its been a long time since I looked at it, so i could be wrong there.
