  So regular web browser can browse IPFS only systems?

    Yes. Brave has it built-in. Others can do it through an extension.

      That’s cool, still can’t see why I wouldn’t use http(s) though that is cheaper and simpler?

        “Cheaper and simpler” only if you are comparing with sites hosted on some big cloud provider. Consider the case where you don’t want or can’t rely on, e.g, Cloudflare or AwS and ask yourself how you would serve lots of static data without worrying about bandwidth or getting DDOS.
