You can't unless you've chosen to back up your WhatsApp messages to iCloud/Google in which case it's Apple/Google responsible for preserving the messages and subject to their encryption standards, nothing to do with Meta.

Firefox offers this in the dropdown when typing a URL, there's a "Switch to Tab" option to take you straight to the existing tab instead of creating a duplicate.

This is explicitly accounted for, as per the README:

> Many Postgres clients also inspect the pg_catalog to determine system information so Postlite mirrors this catalog by using an attached in-memory database with virtual tables.

What if you are logging into something on a device that doesn't have your email on it? So called magic links are an absolute nightmare.

Whilst there is an element of lab measurement involved, they do use field measurement, so metrics are collated from users rather than their own connection. This means that your data could just as easily be skewed by a browser/OS update that rolls out to a ton of devices at once, as much as anything at your end.

Yep, that's exactly what Splunk have done - scroll down the release notes linked to by the grandparent and the faulty regex is shown.
