ipfs-deploy VS brave-browser

I've got a basic personal site with blog posts and random stuff that I also make available through IPFS. The site is made with Gatsby, a static site generator that generates a folder full of html files and resources. I host those on a normal webserver, but I also publish the files onto IPFS (using ipfs-deploy and https://pinata.cloud/ as the pinning service) and then have a DNSLink DNS record on the domain (that gets updated by ipfs-deploy) so that people with IPFS-compatible browsers can access the site through IPFS. It's also nice that it means a mirror of my site is also accessible through https://MY-DOMAIN-COM.ipns.dweb.link. I like knowing that if anything happens to my regular webserver, then as long as the domain is still up then there good ways to access my site and for anyone to help preserve my site.

I recommend Pinata [0] for IPFS pinning if you do not want to host your own IPFS node. I'm not sure when they'll start charging but it's been free since they launched and I believe Infura [1] also has free pinning. Cloudflare [2] is a good alternative gateway to use. For deployment I use this deploy tool [3] which makes it as simple as `ipd -p pinata my-app`

You'll notice the actual patching itself is introduced with the caveat:

Brave browser, which blocks ads and trackers, grew to over 50 million monthly active users in 2023 while enabling privacy-first models to counter Google's search and Chrome browser ecosystem.

Still waiting on the Brave stable release with the patched version of chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/35013

Manually download the standalone version from: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.61.101 and update it that way.

Upgraded Chromium to 120.0.6099.71. (#34740) (Changelog for 120.0.6099.71)

For those looking for a fix: Use the latest Nightly Build for Brave.
