Show HN: Electric Tables – an experiment in personal databases
> Note, because of technical reasons (content security policies) some sites (e.g. Twitter, Airbnb) will add to Electric Tables, but in a new tab instead of using a pop-up and it won’t grab much additional data..so so so frustrating. extensions getting whacked into irrelevance by CSP is such a vulgar sick security misfeature. what a repulsive era of oversecuritization we've FUD'ed ourselves into. the only voices at the table are those hungry to lock down & deny power to users; technical authoritarianism without check.the only workaround i can see is abandoning extensions & making devtools the new way we extend user-agency. the browsers, the standards folks are killing regular user-agency. they are forcing us to climb down to a lower security ring.wonderful world changing extensions like Hypothesis are also broken on sites like twitter and airbnb. making the web read only, removing all user agency, is so not ok. projects like Electric Table show hints of the better web that many long hoped was to come, that has slowly been emerging. but this potential is being cut off, in the most critical areas. somethings got to give. we cant floruish, cant survive a corporate controlled web.
