URLs in form ipfs:Qme3pKkedCfcebDmkZz5tU2suMjHP4EPi29NMNNxQrQzwy/done seem useful because they are relatively short (51 characters plus the length of the path such as /done).
For example, they won't be broken in the middle to be forcibly wrapped to the next line on a traditional (80 characters per line) terminal unless the path (after the hash) exceeds ≈28 characters. That's at least twice as good as the old 8.3 character limit.
They are also less likely to cause horizontal scrollbars in modern editors or HTML textareas.
Unfortunately, such short URLs are supported, as far as I can tell, only by the addon for Firefox.
Would this Chrome extension also support them? (In addition to the support of current http://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/ URLs are 23 characters longer than ipfs:.)
