The lock icon in your browser means absolutely nothing +when a third party is literally getting all of your traffic when you connect to that site. +Beyond that, with so many sites using Cloudflare, cross-site tracking becomes a problem. + +In addition, with so many websites behind Cloudflare, when it goes down, half the web is down. +The internet was designed to be decentralised and Cloudflare is centralising it. +Half of the internet relying on a single entity is dangerous. +``` +-- [Amolith](https://social.nixnet.services/@Amolith) + + --- | 🖼 | 🖼 | |
