Do they always refer to the same gateway, dweb.link? Is there a way to change this gateway?

Otherwise all of ipfs will end up going through dweb.link, and that's how you centralized a decentralized technology.



No, other browsers and extensions use a gateway. This is a Go-IPFS local node, downloaded on demand (or you can run your own and connect via it).


No, they're using a gateway in case you didn't choose to install your own go-ipfs local node.


On this page in Brave (chrome-extension://nibjojkomfdiaoajekhjakgkdhaomnch/dist/options/options.html) you can choose any IPFS gateway you prefer (or even run your own gateway if you want!).

Thanks!


Are there any plans for Brave to make use of the Ethereum Name Service (ENS)?


Yes, more on this soon.
