From personal use

• ipfs.io/ip*/ == gateway.ipfs.io/ip*/
• ipfs --daemon running ipfs deamon
  • ipfs name publish HASH mutability with ipns https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipns/QmU3RLX54faeeZvnpDdqBk7dnMjpVaDtbvavTtzXEepZqt
    • via https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsNTn2aDxdXBFca7D/example#/ipfs/QmThrNbvLj7afQZhxH72m5Nn1qiVn3eMKWFYV49Zp2mv9B/ipns/readme.md

• running go reference implementation

To explore

• Support for Decentralization Protocols in Extensions in Firefox 59
• update, cf the ipns redirection
• original paper
  • read half only
• fuse
  • unclear how to get hash back and thus proper integration
• difference with older similar projects
  • e.g. webtorrent or freenet (initially added on Tools several years ago)
• ipfs gateway as a Firefox plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipfs-gateway-redirect/
  • requires a running ipfs instance

Note

My notes on Tools gather what I know or want to know. Consequently they are not and will never be complete references. For this, official manuals and online communities provide much better answers.
