On my phone I don't use the Facebook app. If I really need it, I open it in a private tab in Firefox. On my laptop, I open it in Firefox in a special container. On both I use Privacy Badger. They may still be able to identify me, but it makes identification a little harder.
Yes they did. Almost everything is recovered.
The thing is that it seems they haven't lost any data. I bet the cloud did no harm.
They have backups and although they haven't recovered yet completely, the servers that are recovered haven't lost data.

a lot like Mars
Not remotely close. In the worst of conditions in Iceland, I could walk around for minutes totally naked in the worst conditions, go back inside, dink some hot cocoa and be ready to do it again in a few hours. Mars, you'll be unconscious in 12 seconds if you space suit springs a leak and dead in 4 minutes. Iceland wait a few hours until the storm goes away, put on a heavy coat and spend a day out ice fishing. Mars, pour some hot water onto you freeze dried lasagna while looking out the window.
The trip to Iceland back then was as risky as it goes. Navigation was difficult, a storm could sink the ship, disease could not be cured. No steel boats, just wood and sail.
Plus you never knew what happened to the other crews. Did they survive or not? They could have a happy life, but no communication back to the motherland. Missing Iceland and ending up in Greenland without knowing it - totally possible.
I use Privacy Badger. It disables certain scripts, the ones that seem to track you. It works more or less like Ghostscript. I don't see this option in the poll.
And whats to stop MS from uninstalling the program? They started uninstalling programs on Win 10 without permission what to stop them from doing this?
Root access!
If I were a manufacturer with a 20% return rate on my products, I'd do the following:
1. Put an immediate message out that "We have our best people working feverishly on the issue."
2. Force my engineering and channel sales experts to conference call each and every customer until they learn enough about the issue to fix the reason the product was returned.
3. Perhaps the products are not defective (such as RAM) but that the purchase process does not identify the correct RAM needed. I'd have my software team write code to detect the correct RAM needed (for example).
4. I'd tie the design team's bonus structure directly to return rates.
5. Lastly, I'd also close the loop with distributors - any product where return rates started to climb would be pulled.
(When you are getting a 20% return rate, you're not making profit anyway.)
You forget:
0. Check the sales numbers. If the product is sold only five times, there's nothing to worry yet about the return rate, but marketing should get their act together.
I have 5GB data + unlimited Spotify. As this is not legal anymore because of net neutrality, Spotify data will fall under the 5GB in the near future. I use about 2GB normal data per month, and about 6-12 GB for Spotify. I'm thinking about ending my Spotify subscription alltogether when the unlimited option is gone.
Where are you where zero-rating is illegal? In the US, T-mobile still zero-rates music, so you must not live here...
I live in the Netherlands, and I believe we have the strongest laws about net neutrality in the EU.

Something tells me that this is the real iCloud. Now we need an app to connect to it!
Should I replace Disconnect.me with it?
Isn't Disconnect a tracker service itself?
Even if I'm a regular visitor, I might not want to download anyone's app because I'm running out of space on my mobile phone. Too many of these loser specialized apps act like space is unlimited and cache many megabytes, nor can I customize its cache to save things on my external memory card which has many gigabytes free.
Even when having many gigabytes available I prefer Facebook in the browser over the app. I don't want the FB app to read (and upload) all my contacts, locations, etc...
IMHO, this is a browser problem, not a website problem. Browser shouldn't allow scripts to interact with a password field. Period.
[Disclaimer: I'm not the GP AC.]
Isn't this exactly what a password manager does? I thought Lastpass (to name one) uses Javascript to change the form fields, including the password field (which suddenly has a clickable * in it). So if you disable that, you have to paste manually.
