Terrible idea. No matter how much time it would save me, I do not want “my” computer doing any work designed to snitch on me.

What sort of snitching?

>>simonh+E1
It snitches regarding what kind of device and operating system you're using. It currently seems to be limited to Apple devices, but this is the sort of thing I could see Microsoft and Google going for. Put another way, if everyone running unmodified corporate operating systems proves it as a matter of course, it effectively snitches on anyone who isn't.

Running Linux? Rooted Android? Anything else weird? If this gets popular, you might not be able to access most of the web with it, at least not without constantly filling in CAPTCHAs.

None of this is true.

Cloudflare does not know what device you're using.

>>nojito+o7
Cloudflare knows you're using a device that supports this feature. If a majority of internet users are eventually using devices that support it, some sites will probably deny service to those that do not just as some Android apps refuse to run on devices not using a factory OS.

>>Zak+09
Which is a good thing.

Besides it's an open standard. https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-private-access-tokens-...

So I can just write a linux kernel module to assert I'm a Real Person™ and all will be fine?
