Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am frustrated by js-ipfs being the only option in regards to the ipfs daemon embedded into the ipfs companion extension.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see go-ipfs/kubo embedded into IPFS companion by compiling it to webassembly. The go compiler supports webassembly as a target, and chrome extensions support webassembly, so IPFS companion should support go-ipfs/kubo. It will bring IPFS companion up to speed in regards with IPFS desktop in regards to Chromebooks, like the one I am stuck with at the moment.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative would be to bring js-ipfs up to speed with the features and transports of go ipfs.

Additional context
Not necessarily.

@Destroyinator69420 Thanks for your contribution, we appreciate the feedback. This is a significant effort and is currently blocked by ipfs/kubo#5878 AFAIK.

As far as js-ipfs supporting everything that Kubo supports, that is unlikely to happen, and we're going a different route. See https://blog.ipfs.tech/state-of-ipfs-in-js/ and https://github.com/ipfs/helia.

We are open to PRs and would also love to see better support here if you can contribute.
