Releases: dylanPowers/ipfs-chrome-extension
v0.4.1
This release fixes a performance issue in v0.4.0 caused by the new IPNS domain redirect feature. I took that release down rather quickly, but in case you missed it, you can now type ipfs.git.sexy and get redirected to /ipns/ipfs.git.sexy when you enable the Domain Redirection option.

v0.3.1
This version is unlisted on the Chrome store. The Chrome store version has more restricted permissions (only http), while this one works everywhere (http, https, file).
This allows you to do things like get a file by simply inputting /ipfs/Qmcy4LUtkF3uXV67Gu4NqHi4JBNhj4HB42PLG4DgbsADDN into your browser URL bar. It also allows the extension to redirect gateway.ipfs.io links to your locally running daemon even when browsing https sites.
Why is this not on the Chrome store?
The Chrome store is more restrictive when it comes to file URI's and requires those permissions to be listed as optional. Unfortunately, due to the issues I found in #4 optional permissions are impossible to use in this app. Therefore I figured I might as well leave that version as it is and have the version listed here be the more powerful version.
How To Install
Open up chrome://extensions and drag-n-drop the crx file onto the page. If that doesn't work because Chrome is being strange (it's happened to me a few times), you can enable developer mode, unzip the zipped version to a safe location and click "Load unpacked extension...".
You will also have to click the checkbox that says "Allow access to file URLs" that's present for the extension on the chrome://extensions page.
