IPFS Companion harnesses the power of your locally running IPFS node (either through the IPFS Desktop app or the command-line daemon) directly inside your favorite browser, enabling support for ipfs:// addresses, automatic IPFS gateway loading of websites and file paths, easy IPFS file import and sharing, and more.
IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, more resilient, and more open. It enables the creation and dissemination of completely distributed sites and applications that don’t rely on centralized hosting and stay true to the original vision of an open, flat web. Visit https://ipfs.tech to learn more.

IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, more resilient, and more open. It enables the creation and dissemination of completely distributed sites and applications that don’t rely on centralized hosting and stay true to the original vision of an open, flat web. Visit https://ipfs.tech to learn more.
FEATURES
- Automatically use IPFS to retrieve sites, files, and other resources already stored on IPFS (including redirecting DNSLink hostnames to IPNS names via your choice of gateway)
- Support content-addressed IPFS paths (/ipfs/) and URIs (ipfs://) in your browser, and redirect them to the gateway of your choice
- Share files from your browser by importing them to your local IPFS node via right-click or drag-and-drop, including the option to preload files at a public gateway
- See how many peers you’re connected to at a glance from your browser’s menu bar
- Check gateway info and API status with a single click
- Copy shareable links, snapshot links, IPNS/IPFS paths, and CIDs for IPFS-hosted sites
- Common IPFS tasks — like pinning files and launching your IPFS Web UI dashboard — are available right in your browser
- Options to toggle IPFS redirects globally or per website
- Choose between connecting to your local IPFS node via the HTTP API or running a js-ipfs node directly in your browser
IMPORTANT NOTES
- Although you can run a js-ipfs node directly in your browser when using IPFS Companion, you’ll need to have a local IPFS node running on your computer to enjoy all IPFS Companion's features — either from your terminal or using the friendly, free IPFS Desktop app. Visit https://ipfs.tech to learn more and install.
- Because this extension detects IPFS resources on the web, it needs permission to read and write to any web page. It was reviewed by the AMO team, but you can always read our privacy policy and view the source code yourself.

What's Better
🔒 Privacy improvements
You no longer send DNS queries to external services when your node is offline. Previously, DNSLink lookups would fall back to ipfs.io when your local node wasn't running. Now the extension properly detects offline status and skips external lookups entirely, keeping your DNS browsing patterns limited to DNS resolvers configured in your local IPFS node.
🔄 More reliable in Chrome and Edge
The extension now stays responsive even when Chrome's service worker goes dormant. We implemented hybrid polling using Chrome's alarms API, so your node status and badge icon update reliably without draining battery. If you previously saw stale "online" indicators when your node was actually offline, this is fixed.
⚡ Faster and lighter
The extension now deduplicates concurrent DNSLink lookups for the same domain, reducing redundant requests from 2-4 down to 1. We also removed leftover telemetry code that was logging every request type even though telemetry was already disabled.
👋 Better welcome experience
When you first install the extension or don't have a node running, the welcome page now has:
- Updated links to current IPFS resources and documentation
- Tutorial videos about content addressing and routing
- Faster loading with local video thumbnails instead of external embeds
- Clearer language explaining what "Kubo RPC API" means
🎨 UI polish
Long version strings from your IPFS Kubo node no longer break the popup layout. The version display now handles strings up to 128 characters without affecting the icon positioning.
