True. For mobile browsing it works well as long as you use Firefox on your phone too, but it doesn't help for tracking and ads within apps. Pi-hole can help there, but only when you're connected to your home network.

Cool! It looks like the metrics view you build on top of the values and labels table makes it _reasonably_ easy to query. I still worry about how you get good autocomplete in Grafana, though. Supporting receiving data from Prometheus is nic

Congrats on the RC! TimescaleDB is a very neat idea, there's a lot to gain by building on Postgres. There's also a very serious limitation due to that: the requirement to predefine schemas. My primary use case for a timeseries-foc
