> For its full functionality to be enabled, IPFS Companion requires a local IPFS node. As such, it is recommended that you have an IPFS node installed and running on your computer.

You still need to install and run the IPFS software. It can't work as only a browser extension. Brave gets around this by bundling the daemon with the browser and automatically starting it when you turn the IPFS stuff on
