Yup, this is one of the developers that took it serious [0]. You can see, he started preparing in August of 2015. If other developers did that, this info wouldn't be a problem.

IPFS is a one off though, it has multiple paid developers who can spend their full time rewriting their addons at the drop of a hat. Plus that IPFS addon didn't require deep access to Firefox's internals, which many popular addons do.

This addon is not worked on by paid developers.

Quite contrary, it needs to handle new URI schema, override URL origin policy, scan pages, do DNS queries and so on.
