The orange indicating gel is less toxic, but it's still not good for you. Don't dry any indicating silica gel in the same oven you use for food. The clear silica gel is non toxic, but breathing the dust can cause silicosis.

It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.

There is a Firefox addon called ClearURLs that automatically removes all of the tracking crap. It works on PC and Android.

That's the same way it works on the fediverse. You post something publicly and anyone can see it regardless of whether you block them or not.
