edjroot··on Show HN: Hearth – A Dropbox-like, IPFS-powered personal website publisher
That's exciting, thanks a lot! I was just considering using a graph database for a future side project.

I also read Neo4j was an inspiration. Is there any "human-made" comparison between the two? All I could find was "A vs. B" comparison tables.

Thanks again!

I remember having read about Gun a few years ago [1] and there was a lot of (apparently) valid criticism. Do you know how much of that is still valid today?

Not to sound edgy, but you don't (and probably never will). Use Firefox instead and be happy with your extensions :)

You can set a flag on Chrome (chrome://flags/#extension-active-script-permission) to block the extension by default and only activate it when you click the pageAction/browserAction or if you whitelist it (for that website only or for all websites).

Also, two extensions come in handy: "Chrome extension source viewer" [1] and "Extensions Update Notifier" [2] (self-descriptive titles). The second one can automatically disable extensions when they're updated.

They're honestly a little annoying if you have more than a handful of extensions since they lack some essential features (e.g. viewing a code diff from the previous version), but at least they're open source! :)

> We can absorb gigabytes of information through our eyes and other sensory organs, but we can only emit a few bits of information.

That's pretty much what Elon Musk cites as his motivation for Neuralink.
