Windows fails to recognize Brave+IPFS

[darkwater4213]

Description

Windows doesn't recognize Brave as an IPFS protocol handler

Steps to Reproduce

1. On Windows 10, go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps
2. At the bottom, click on "Set defaults by App"
3. Click on Brave, then on Manage
4. Scroll down. When you attempt to add Brave as an IPFS handler, it doesn't show up.

Expected result:

Windows recognizes Brave as an IPFS handler and allows you to open .ipfs files in Brave

Actual result:

Windows doesn't recognize Brave

Brave version (I tried to make it look nice but couldn't sorry about that)

We don't have .ipfs file extension, we do have ipfs:// URI scheme support.

@darkwater4213 why you expect .ipfs file extension means anything? What was your expectation?

AFAIK it was just an old idea proposed in ipfs/ipfs-companion#641, but was never implemented because https://dweb.link/ipfs/{cid} is a better way of sharing IPFS links.

Oh, so it was an idea for a file that never got implemented for some reason? Or am I just confused?

@darkwater4213 This was never a thing, never implemented. Where did you get this idea from? :)

To be honest, I saw the letters ipfs and jumped to (wrong) conclusions (haha). Sorry!
