latest releases: v3.1.0, v3.0.1, v3.0.0...
pre-release7 years ago

First public build of WebExtension rewrite. Requires Firefox 52 or later.
This is alpha quality, we do not have proper test suite yet and UX is quite basic. YMMV.
We would appreciate feedback and bug reports.

Known issues

  • "page action" → "Copy Public Gateway URL " may return broken link (#217)

    Temporary workaround for users of v2.0.0alpha2 is to remove /
    from the end of "Custom Gateway URL" in "Preferences":

  • "right click on any image or video → Upload to IPFS" sometimes does not work for some resources,
    eg. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIR4ppcUMAApv5a.jpg (investigating)

New features

  • "browser action" → Quick Upload → select file from disk to upload to IPFS
    (this is a PoC and UX is bit rough. Upload tab will be replaced with Aidebar action #214)
