Description

How do you uninstall the ipfs? I accidentally clicked on it next to the badge and suddenly it was running and asking to get added in firewall. I have disabled it from settings but how can it be uninstalled? i don't want a service i dont.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clicking on this icon image

Brave version (brave://version info)

Brave | 1.52.130 Chromium: 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit) Revision | c3029382d11c5f499e4fc317353a43d411a5ce1c-refs/branch-heads/5735@{#1394} OS | Windows 11 Version 22H2 (Build 22621.1992)

@vampyren, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you're having here. First, the button in your screenshot is not related to IPFS — that icon allows you to install a PWA on your desktop. In order to use IPFS at all, it needs to be enabled in settings initially. Do you recall what you were doing when you noticed that IPFS was being used?

I was on this page when i saw the icon https://shibaswap.com/#/bury/shib

Didn't know what it was so i clicked on it and before i knew i thought it got "installed". Also wanted to add these fw rules: image

So then i went into searching for IPFS and brave when i saw the option in the settings which took me to that page... Makes sense? Or maybe brave IPFS services have always been there but just not activated? If so do i remove the firewall rules and ignore it?
