Description

I've installed it on my Firefox Android, hoping that it'll use some native APIs not available to web apps to connect to the IPFS network, but it didn't. Instead it's shown me a screen with instructions to run an IPFS daemon (on a phone?). It's fine if the extension is merely a relay to the local daemon, but this needs to be clearly called out in the description in the first paragraph.
