   Well another discussion about #Privaxy and #Security is started regarding #Mozilla and the browser #Firefox. But what's the problem? The implementation of DNS over the protocol HTTPS but just with the usage of the company Cloudflare (more to read here: https://blog.ungleich.ch/en-us/cms/blog/2018/08/04/mozillas-new-dns-resolution-is-dangerous/).
   
   And what's the point? Just another centralized aspect with all your visited content in your browser being accessible throughout Cloudflare and no further note where those data is saved in details and what parts exactly. Nothing to argument: The feature itself may be a good one. But not in this way and without further possibilities for configuration. And there is another example about this pragmatism in modern days: People argue that those configuration can be changed throughout "about:config". Sorry, what? Most users have never heard about these possibilities. So this is a lazy compromise. #Stop-Playing-Bullshit

      With a big sigh and as an addition to this previous comment: No this is no further "declaration of war" against #Mozilla. But what's the option? Choosing the lesser evil at last? That's the big problem while #Mozilla is explicit not listening. At any times when trying to spread more "love" again for the project and the foundation they do something really dumb. For example? Integration of DRM. Many more little points on the list and it's not about getting the people to use "Google Chrome". It's about really thinking WHAT the personal freedom is valuable and why we just can't do without more proprietary services in the end. Just dealing with the "lesser evil" is already the lazy compromise.
      
      And there are more browser-projects done by independent groups and developers. Perhaps it is time we think about using them instead just some "big names" everybody is using?

      @throgh Sure, then do argue to change the default configuration: https://social.wiuwiu.de/web/statuses/100504215327276263
