I'm with you on the opt-out vs. opt-in part. That's not a nice move. Regardless of that, Firefox is still the best choice. I hope they will continue to improve.

I've read the announcement. Sounds reasonable and sufficiently private to me. So saying "Mozilla wants your data" sounds misleading and like an overreaction to me. Also might help to mitigate the arms race in privacy protection versus tracking for ads and worse stuff.
Mozilla is definitely going to try more scummy crap like this in the future.
How do you know that?
Even if, there will still be alternatives. But right now, Firefox is the best browser with regards to privacy and security. It even passed minmum ratings by the german IT security authority, contrary to other widely used browsers.
You can easily look them up using a search engine of your choice. But I understand the lazyness.
*global IT outage shows dangers of monopolies.
True true. Although you don't suck on rusty nails.
Ah good to know. I'll tell my friends tomorrow. Probably. Maybe the day after that. Well, I could just write them a text, but it's better in person, right? So I'll do it the next time I see them. 100%!!
"Great wall of fuck", that's creative haha, I like it. xD
I'm sorry if this offended you. It really wasn't my intention to let you feel that way. I just wanted to spread some awareness about this as it's one of our civilisation's great dietary problems. What you do with that piece of information is of course up to you.
and the fact that you assume some stranger on the internet has a diet so bad
I feel like you've not read the part where I said the following:
So, if youβre interested in your health, try to get an overview on how much salt you consume on average.
Which should show that I didn't assume that you specifically have a bad diet. But maybe I haven't expressed myself carefully enough.
but please, find something else to do
Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you in that as writing great walls of fuck on Lemmy, is sometimes a preferred time killer of mine. Also, my experience shows that there are also other readers on Lemmy who can be interested in such great walls of fuck.
Salt is contained in a lot of products. Got salted butter? Smear it on bread. Guess which ingredient is used in bread. Correct: salt. Maybe you put some cold cuts on it. They've got a lot of salt. What about cheese? Salt again. Now you move on to your coffee. You put dairy milk in it: salt. Lunch? Probably a lot of salt. Dinner? Needless to say. If you snack some chips, well, obviously it's a shitload of salt.
Salt is everywhere. Especially in today's food industry. Having salt is not necessarily bad for one's health β in fact, we do need salt for our body to function β but as usual it's the amount that matters.
And according to several dietary authorities worldwide, most people eat too much salt.
WHO:
The global mean intake of adults is 4310 mg/day sodium (equivalent to 10.78 g/day salt) (1). This is more than double the World Health Organization recommendation for adults of less than 2000 mg/day sodium (equivalent to < 5 g/day salt).
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/salt-reduction
FDA (USA):
Americans consume on average 3,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium per dayβnearly 50%more than the 2,300 mg limit recommended by federal guidelines for people 14 years and older. Recommended limits for children 13 and younger are even lower.
https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/sodium-reduction
Overview in EU:
International health-related organisations have issued recommendations to limit salt intake to no more than 5 or 6 g per day (see Table 3A). In the EU, most national recommendations that quantify salt intake recommend the same. [...]
In the majority of European countries, the range of intake is 7 to 12 grams of salt per day

Salt is one of those substances which have large effects even in low doses. Therefore, being above the recommended intake on average increases risks of suffering mainly from:
cardiovascular diseases, stomach cancer and chronic kidney disease
https://knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu/health-promotion-knowledge-gateway/dietary-saltsodium_en
So, if you're interested in your health, try to get an overview on how much salt you consume on average. And if it's above the recommended intake (which is usually the case), consider whether you really really can not live without salted butter or try to cut down on salt with other meals. And probably, taking the shaker off the table won't be enough.

Where I live, Margarine has to have a fat content of at least 80 % otherwise it is not allowed to be called Margarine. Guess what happens? Even there companies try to cut costs and oversell less fatty water as kind of Margarine.
Is it?
