From the description

"Please note that content shared with this addon is just cached on IPFS servers. If you want to store the content permanently, you need to have IPFS node running on your computer."

It's a common misconception that ipfs is something you can "upload to." Ipfs makes links permanent in that they will never change. There is no guarantee that the content of the link exists unless someone explicitly stored it on a node.



Is there some misconception in that sentence?


Not in that sentence. It's the misconception that the sentence addresses.
