Please consider enabling pubsub for IPFS in Brave. Pubsub would allow web apps to be a lot more dynamic. Static content is a good start but go-ipfs can do a lot more! IPNS and any kind of decentralized database will need it at some point too.

Security is a concern I'm not sure how to address though.

Thank you!

I second that. It would be great having access to ipfs instance (at least when ipfs-companion is running with embedded node) from within every page for js scripts to interact directly with ipfs network - this would enable making dApps truly decentralized.

Yes, requiring the user to configure IPFS for CORS is less than ideal, that's another issue.

yep!

I also need this feature. Asking app users to install IPFS and configure it is a non-starter. Brave with pubsub and IPFS API will be transformative for decentralization on the web.
