Bridging Web2 – Web3: IPFS x Opera integration
summary
Opera ships IPFS by default across Android, iOS (v2.55) and preview desktop builds, letting single‑page dapps be deployed with ipfs add, served from a local node or gateway, and then bound to blockchain names like .crypto so sites load without extensions. Reported benefit: defaults avoid losing ~80% of users who won’t install an extension. Current gaps are tooling (VS Code, GitHub Actions, CI) and mobile node cost; working demos include offline docs, npm/module caching and personal blogs hosted on IPFS.
