## **IPFS 2021 in Review**
|
||||
## **Web3 Browsers for Decentralized Storage**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Web3 applications had a great run in 2021 as mainstream users were introduced to concepts like NFTs. This was all possible thanks to the infrastructure developments that were already there to support them with decentralized storage. Throughout the year, IPFS collaborated with projects such as OpenSea, Brave, Pinata, and Audius to make this happen. It also added important features to its Go and JavaScript implementations as well as the IPFS Cluster codebase. [Get a refresh](https://blog.ipfs.io/2022-01-11-IPFS-in-2021/) on everything that happened in 2021.

Browsers are still most users’ primary interface when they interact with the internet. In most cases, however, they’re still stuck with Web 2.0 infrastructure. This has started to change thanks to recent integrations by browsers like [**Brave**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-01-19-ipfs-in-brave/)and [**Opera**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-02-08-opera-ios-and-ipfs/) who’ve added native support for IPFS as the default protocol for decentralized storage. These developments eliminate the need for centralized gateways and pave the way for the slow but steady ongoing migration from HTTP to Web3.
