Excelente implementacion, realmente me siento enormemente agradecido a todo el equipo de IPFS, simplemente son una maravilla. La extension acompañada de la implementasion de FUSE hacen de una experiencia demasiado comoda tan solo con algunas sencillas configuraciones que, como practicamente todo esta muy bien documentada, aun estoy familiarizandome con IPFS en general, pero me ha ayudado muchisimo. Muchas gracias, por favor sigan mejorando, por mi parte intentare contribuir a la red Interplanetaria como pueda.

Is IPFS Companion Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
IPFS Companion requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
IPFS Companion is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
