I've been using IPFS Companion for quite a while, and I've noticed significant CPU usage that impacts my browser's performance. I switched to using DScan, a more efficient alternative. It doesn't need to run an IPFS node, significantly reducing the resource load on my system. It's also easier to manage my storage across multiple devices! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dscan-own-your-identity-o/idpfgkgogjjgklefnkjdpghkifbjenap

The extension does what it says...but god knows what else it is doing. When enabled Chrome uses a whole CPU core at all times.

Majorly slowed down my browser to the point that I had to remove it. While I was using it, it was nice. IPFS links worked seamlessly and I could direct it to my local IPFS node

NFT anyone? Ever wondered how they get to be one? Wanna be in on that? From a whole other angle? FB or IPFS? The future of one day that IPFS will be the "digital dirt" that all springs from and all has access to. Who doesn't have 50 GB of hard drive space? they would like 'cloud' accessible? No Matter What? Forever Clout IPFS Desktop version

This browser extension is unreliable at the few sites that try to publish through IPFS, and it misbehaves if sync'd through a profile to a browser instance that isn't backed by the the IPFS Desktop software, like on a Chromebook. The protocol itself is better described as a fancy bittorrent, and not a filesystem, because IPFS doesn't implement basic things like folders and directories, and things like IPNS are way too complex for casual users or samizdat to use safely.
