I don’t know anything about modern web dev but I’m like 90% sure that every web browser shouldn’t be required to have an entire relational database built into it. that seems like it might be slightly overkill in order to *checks notes* display webpages

I’m pretty sure this bullshit right here is why it’s impossible to save your Firefox extension configs by just copying a JSON file that’s already in the filesystem - because instead it’s hidden away in this stupidass overengineered database thing

modern web tech loves to make everything as tamper-proof as possible and it’s infuriating. everything used to be effortless to customize and extend, but now it’s “take it or leave it”
