I'm not sure what you mean by a memory protocol, what is that?

As far as I am aware. I was not given the individual's name for "privacy reasons". I was explicitly told it was someone under me, but that could be anyone of 20-some odd people.

Thank you all for the recommendations, definitely leaning towards IceCat mobile. I'll be playing around with it tonight.

I've updated my mobile Firefox and they still don't work. It kills me this has not been a priority for Mozilla, it shouldn't be this hard to browse the web.

Mozilla has been on the downward spiral over the last several years. They took something (i.e. Firefox) that wasn't broken and "fixed" it until it was, first by killing off XPCOM and then suffering through the misadventures of such bastard products as Firefox OS. The folks at Mozilla should really stick to what their good at and focus on an all around open source browser that people will actually WANT to use.

Just curious, do you think enough subject matter experts (e.g. Data Scientists, AI researches) would volunteer in the event of a national emergency or is patriotism not a viable motivator as the authors suggest?

Actual doogiePIM user here: I've been using this app for the the last four months and it really does do everything Chris promises it does - its amazingly stable and adaptable for being developed by one talented individual. Hardly a day goes by I don't discover a new feature which has helped me migrate certain workflows into one, local platform allowing me to replace Word, Google Calendar, and Mint to name just a few (I keep everything on my Surface with occasional backups off site).
While doogiePIM is billed as a personal information manager (PIM) I actually use it more as a Personal Knowledge Manager (PKM), which is especially conducive due to the built in Chromium browser, so I don't have to keep switching between multiple apps like Chrome (which I no longer trust), Notion, or some other Productivity program. Talking with the OP he is extremely responsive and open to suggestions that would make doogiePIM more functional and customizable.
As a longtime HN lurker I've noticed that for years individuals have longed for a centrally managed information program and I feel strongly that this is the only one that fits that bill:

It was actually this topic that exposed me to HN in the first place.
I am not in any way affiliated with the OP but I am a believer in that the program delivers. That and the fact that it's a local app gives me peace of mind.
