Is there a way to use IPFS in a browser that isn't Brave?
Unless there's some reason I should use Brave over Chromium?

The go-to used to be the
browser extension (which brave just built-in)

Ty. And it does verify downloads with the CID hash, right?

You still need to install and run the IPFS software. It can't work as only a browser extension. Brave gets around this by bundling the daemon with the browser and automatically starting it when you turn the IPFS stuff on

A fair and important distinction/correction!
