Dashlane has that feature too.

It's also arguably preferable to cutting off a finger!

This has been one of my favorite things in Opera since they introduced it in the late 2000s. It seemed weird Chrome wasn't better at this. I'm going to have to give this Falcon a try because it looks just like what I would want!

You want to keep the amount of different data that you are indexing/tagging on low. As an example with my situation, I was tracking what could be amounted to connections between nodes in a very large tree. I had a lot of distinct pairs, which means that I had a high cardinality. When the cardinality increases a query that used to take a millisecond to load could move to a couple seconds.

Good to hear! I have a project coming up soon that I want to use it on.

From using InfluxDB (up to v0.10 I think it was), it's a great database but performance REALLY depends on the cardinality of your data.

I can't stress it enough, calculate your cardinality before switching over to it. If your cardinality looks good, InfluxDB is a perfect, logical choice. I really enjoyed it and it is dirt simple to figure out. We had a junior dev just out of college with little experience set it up and get a high level of proficiency in a matter of hours.

Edit: I should point out, I was doing about 10 million records on my db (hosted on a Mac Mini in development!) a day with a 2 week sliding window. I was pushing the data from InfluxDB into custom D3 visualizations. I would cache certain queries in Redis, so I wasn't always hitting InfluxDB with each read request.

I agree with @dev360. I think it has to do with RavenDB being more common with .NET developers (at least from my experience).

Also, Xamarin makes .NET runnable on Android with their runtime and compile it down for iOS.

.NET Microframework makes it runnable on IoT.

Firebase gives you a real-time database with no initial setup. The only really big competitor I know of it is RethinkDB. Having "three-way" databinding in a SPA is pretty cool and wouldn't be something that would be trivial to setup without either of these two databases.

I could see Firebase being a great go to for a certain size of project in the small to medium size that would rather pay for this feature set that using AWS, Azure, Rackspace, etc.

And runs on more platforms than Java.

MVC 6's name is now also ASP.NET Core MVC 1.x.x. It's really a version number reset. The confusing thing is that it's not plugged through everywhere and people interchange the two regularly.
