I logged into GitHub on mobile just to star this.

Incredible.

I’m currently working on a community-run contact tracing app in the open: https://github.com/epicollect/epi-collect
It is not a mobile app. You export your data from Google (thanks GDPR!), and filter out personally identifiable data points before submitting. We also let you know exactly who is about to use your donated data (we only allow academic researchers to have access), and give you advance notice so you can delete it if you don’t want your data to be used in a particular project.
We are MIT licensed and are figuring out how to make data donation safe via UX and engineering. We need all the help we can get - even if it’s just feedback. Feel reach out! [email protected]

What's shocking about this post is there is no mention of what private API(s) are being used by Electron. The link to the Mozilla blog post has nothing to do with Electron.
Edit: Google to the rescue:

It doesn't - like ungoogled-chromium, Brave have replaced references to any Google endpoints with placeholders that don't resolve to anything.

This is amazing. Finally Mozilla is sticking its nose into a growing market that REALLY needs their help!
I wonder how much of this will be Rust? :)

Does nothing for publishers' needs for deeper control and analytics. Just a "feel good" gesture that results in additional complexity for everyone involved. Google is not the only company in the world that knows how to load a page efficiently.

The people who can biohack are the ones who actually suffer from malnutrition the least. I love the experience your team brings to the table -- it is very well needed in such a shitty industry -- but please please please consider making this affordable from the get-go. Malnutrition is a self-reinforcing problem that hurts the United States' health care safety net in so many ways (the cost is obviously the biggest hot-button issue, which is why it's nearly impossible to change anything). On top of that, it's estimated there will be more 1099 contractors in the next 10 years than ever before -- meaning there will be more people who voluntarily choose to forgo health insurance than ever before. Until health care costs go down, decentralizing preventative care is needed more than ever. If you make this affordable from the get-go, you have an opportunity to make a real impact on those who are actually malnourished and have no practical way to fix that.
