when IPFS to safari, chrome and firefox mobile and webview?


IPFS status in May 2021 : brave, opera, (chrome + firefox but with addon on desktop)

I'm wondering when ipfs will be ported to chrome and safari mobile => especially for webview

because those links, won't open in webview or chrome mobile or safari mobile...

only this will work

is it because we would have to implement ipfs node natively in the app ?


Solution

  • I doubt it will ever come to iOS except as a native implementation because of the OS' locked-down nature, which means it’ll be a while as we wait for IPFS to become more mainstream.
