Not a lot of options for iOS. There’s Tor browser and Brave that I know of. Brave is surprisingly good, but I don’t do a lot of serious navigation in the phone, and tend to favor private mode so the tracking gets deleted once I close the tab.
It’s a drop in replacement. It’s pre hardened so you may want to relax the settings a bit to get some comfort (at the expense of privacy). But otherwise you’ll feel right at home.
I don’t want Mozilla to be handling my personal data in any way. Anonymized usage statistics? I could be convinced to relinquish that. But that’s it.
Can they answer “not no”?
Got it, thanks.
Hold a sec. Rolling your own RDBMS out of a NoSQL database is insane. But is the opposite feasible? Wouldn’t it be a simple table with two columns: a key and a JSON blob?
Gotcha. Thanks!
Right, RDBMS for object permanence is a pain. It’s meant as efficient data storage and retrieval. But I counter that a huge amount of data problems are of that kind, and using object permanence for general database applications seems very contrived. I’m imagining loading a huge amount of data to memory to filter the things you need, essentially rolling your own DBMS. Am I missing something?
I don’t know if it was you, but thanks for the initiative.
Right, and you’d never do a search for messages with a particular reaction, so there’s no functionality loss is this use case.
What I’m hearing is that they’re very different beasts for very different applications. A typical web app would likely need both.
Let me see if I got it. It would be like a denormalized table with a flexible number of columns? So instead of multiple rows for a single primary key, you have one row (the file), whose structure is variable, so you don’t need to traverse other tables or rows to gather/change/delete the data.
The downsides are the usual downsides of a denormalized DB.
Am I close?
I’m with you. Those TOUs are unacceptable.
