this is the kind of thing that makes we finally sit down and actually look at what's leaving my machine instead of assuming it's fine. been doing some recon work on my own stuff lately and it's wild how much you find just by actually checking instead of taking a vendor's privacy claims at face value. genuinely curious what "full browsing and gaming history" means in practice here — like is this URL-level, or just aggregate app usage categorized as "browsing"? big difference between those two for how bad this actually is.

The "entities vs tables" distinction is a real one, but I think for the majority of developers who just want to visualize an existing schema quickly, this is more than sufficient. Perfect is the enemy of useful here. Most people aren't building ORM abstractions — they just want to see what's connected to what.
