@BrendanEich in 2020 how would you go about building an offline-first (possibly p2p) prog web app? Would the author of JS just write vanilla and roll his own protocols and persistence layer to store app data on a server, or would he use React, PostGres, and sockets (etc. etc.)?
Not designed to expose extension APIs a la what we did with libdweb in Firefox. However, you should be able connect to the local node from a different extension. Interesting idea to do libdweb-style extension API exposure... would really be a decision for Brave though.

Maybe the
@MSEdgeDev team could come onboard to assist brave to bring a libdweb extension API to chromium? That would be all things nice. If I could call libdweb-style api from a web extension... I mean yeah that would be pretty cool. I could define an <ipfs src=></ipfs> tag -
Libdweb was designed as an experimentation enabler. A production-level extension API likely looks a bit different. We are exploring the idea of a native Chromium implementation of IPFS, so that Chromium-based browsers can have a build option to enable it in their products.
