amazing how cloudflare has framed this anticompetitve move as a privacy thing.

it doesn't matter if your dns resolver leaks part of your ip address to archive.is's dns servers when you're about to connect to archive.is from your ip address anyway. the only thing dropping the edns client subnet does is prevent services you use from giving you a server that's closer to you when you do the dns lookup. this performance issue, of course, does not affect sites using cloudflare.

Can we not call literally everything "anticompetitive"? archive.is isn't a competitor of Cloudflare. Cloudflare doesn't treat them differently from any other site, they're not doing anything "to keep them down", their DNS product just has a focus that isn't compatible with archive.is' hunger for data.

That you might connect to archive.is directly isn't of any concern. You might also not do that, and they've decided that leaking data about the user isn't what they want to do.

It's not anticompetitive. It's not evil.

archive.is doesn't compete with cloudflare, but they (or other websites) might want to spend money on improving their performance. cloudflare's dns resolver being popular makes one non-cloudflare option for improving website performance less appealing.
