What is the default gate?

[Mithgol]

Should I direct people to http://gateway.ipfs.io/(ipfs|ipns)/$RESOURCE when they haven't (yet) configured their local IPFS installations? Or would http://ipfs.io/(ipfs|ipns)/$RESOURCE (without gateway.) always suffice? (As it does now.)

Direct them to ipfs.io -- gateway.ipfs.io is deprecated and will start redirecting to ipfs.io soon. We won't shut it down though, for the foreseeable future.

I hereby summon @lidel because the README of https://github.com/lidel/ipfs-firefox-addon/ seems to indicate that only gateway.ipfs.io is supported (i.e. replaced) by that addon.

Yep that should be updated

[lidel]

Good catch. I updated README to cover old and new URLs.
The addon already supports https://ipfs.io/(..)

I hereby summon @dylanPowers because the README of https://github.com/dylanPowers/ipfs-chrome-extension/ seems to indicate that only gateway.ipfs.io is supported (i.e. replaced) by that Chrome extension.

@Mithgol things get outdated. Submit a PR to fix it, or open issue there
