Un bonne nouvelle pour la (re)décentralisation d’Internet :

> Support for Decentralization Protocols
> 
> Mozilla has always been a proponent of decentralization, recognizing that it is a key ingredient of a healthy Internet. Starting with Firefox 59, several protocols that support decentralized architectures are approved for use by extensions. The newly approved protocols are:
> 
> ```
> Dat Project (dat://)
> IPFS (dweb:// ipfs:// ipns://)
> Secure Scuttlebutt (ssb://)
> 
> ```
> 
> Firefox itself does not implement these protocols, but having them on the approved list means the browser recognizes them as valid protocols and extensions are free to provide implementations.

À l’annonce de Mozilla en janvier, il s’agissait de permettre aux nouvelles extensions d’utiliser les schemes `dat`, `ipfs`, `ipns` et `ssb`. Bien hâte de voir ce que le prochain mois nous réserve 🙂
