Description

@daviddias

everyday, when I get to my machine, IPFS Companion has the "Redirect to Gateway" enabled again. Is there a timer to reset it? I mean, I love the feature, but I keep having to switch it off to c&p urls to share with people (or fixing them manually)

There is no timer, it should respect the setting. Filling as a bug.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the storage mechanism for the Redirect to Gateway preference in the browser extension. Check how the setting is saved and loaded, likely using chrome.storage, and ensure it is applied correctly on extension startup.
