Nice find!
does this work in any browser right now?
Unfortunately discontinued. Any idea if there is any alternative?
I feel a way to go is to develop MDNS through an Browser extension, showcase how it is useful and bring the spec back to life.
There is also flyweb: https://flyweb.github.io/ But I think it's discontinued too

Word from its developers is that it's very much not discontinued, it's just that their resources had to be comitted to Quantum work. They want to get back to it.

This means mdns discovery from browser nodes! :) This can be an elegant way for a browser app to know if there are other IPFS nodes in the machine (native, in an extension or in another tab) or if it should bootstrap one itself!
