In a decentralized internet, however, controlling the top of the domain hierarchy would no longer be in the hands of a centralized entity. Top-level domain names would be peer-based and would no longer exist under a single point-of-failure. Find out how [**Namebase offers new solutions to resolving hostnames in the web3 future with its Handshake project**](https://blog.ipfs.io/decentralizing-the-internet-s-root/). +IPFS and Filecoin are complementary systems, and the ecosystem has developed tools like [Textile](http://textile.io/) and [Estuary](http://estuary.tech/) to help them work together. With the increasing limitations for plugins, these tools are some of the best solutions for developing for web3 with current browsers. As time goes on and IPFS becomes more accessible, browsers will continue supporting native integration (see [Opera](https://blogs.opera.com/tips-and-tricks/2021/02/opera-crypto-files-for-keeps-ipfs-unstoppable-domains/) and [Brave](https://brave.com/ipfs-support/)). As these integrations continue, Textile and Estuary give a simple workaround for using the systems alongside one another.
