You are the experts, but if Alby can do what brave does for IPFS urls, I.e intercept urls that have Pkarr as TLDs, and route the cleaner endpoint while keeping the address bar showing the original URL, that would defined be fun.
we can ship Rust or wasm code that takes pubky or pkarr url and give you back either a normal domain or an ip and port. in fact if you can Rust code in extensions, then we can do TLS too that doesn't depend on CAs.
but I don't know enough about extensions limitations.
I think you overestimate what extensions actually can do currently.
Seems brave removed IPFS support and now there are some attempts to make such scenarios work through extensions (instead of directly in the browser). Seems like quite some way to go still:

WASM should be fine π
Oh not at all I knew web extensions promise nothing but heart break, but wanted to see if I missed something new, evidently not π
