I used to do this with Apache Drill a few years ago. There is something beautiful about downloading 1 binary and being able to query your files (json/csv/parquet etc) right away
Security concerns that Chrome seems to be able to deal with just fine. If that's the issue then block sysex but allow the rest, the midi (v1) protocol isn't that hard.
Meanwhile, there are 100's of WebMIDI capable applications now and Mozilla still claims there is no demand for a feature they do not support. That's backwards, of course a feature that you do not support is not in demand because people simply go elsewhere.
The cumulative effect of a lot of little crappy decisions like this is part of why FireFox' market share eroded (the other is Google's anti competitive behavior).
I suppose someone should mention Brave is an alright choice. If it had mobile sync working, I might be using it (Firefox currently)
Edit: just checked and their android version doesn't seem to have implemented password manager support yet. I'm excited for when they do, but its disappointing.
I've never found the "choose this, because the other option(s) suck more" to be a particularly flattering argument for web browsers, programming languages, cars, or politicians.
The modern aversion to "lesser of two evils" is a thinly-disguised post-hoc rationalization for apathy (or worse, nihilism). It's not even false equivalence, because that would suggest trying to paint both "evils" as equal; no, this is simply saying that, when presented with two choices where one is better than the other, we might as well make the worse choice, because who cares?
You should personally should choose the lesser of two evils when those are your only choices. Promoting the lesser evil is not such an easy call though.
From a practical standpoint, promoting an evil, even if it's a lesser evil, has the potential for harming your own reputation as a reliable source.
It is also fundamentally morally questionable, of course what is morally right and wrong is a matter of much debate. Suppose a psycopath calls you up and says "I'm going to do one of two things, shoot a random 5 year old named Joseph, or shoot two random 5 year olds named Kate, which should I do?". Assume for the hypothetical that you know they are telling the truth, and there is nothing you can do about the situation but choosing what you say back. In my view of the world saying "shoot Joseph" still makes you morally culpable, even though you were avoiding a worse situation.
Alternatively, you can lobby for a different choice, or pressure the 'lesser evil' to improve themselves. Rarely do folks bother to do this though after they've made their choice.
This is why I'm using Firefox nightly. It is a killer feature to keep open my many AWS and GCP accounts (one container per client). It still needs to be polished though.
