I'm convinced Cloudflare is a giant anti-privacy man-in-the-middle attack on the entire web experience.

It would be a conspiracy theory to say they were created by a three letter government agency, but if I was running one of those three letter agencies, this is exactly the kind of company I'd setup and control. People just give them their TLS keys lol

If you use a VPN or just like browsing in privacy mode, it will make your life as difficult as possible by having you fill out multiple captchas. And even then, it will sometimes not let you through.

If you're running a website, please stop using Cloudflare.

I hate Cloudflare with burning passion. Not only is it a US company that centralizes internet infrastructure around itself, it also terminates TLS for way too many websites and sees their cleartext traffic. It then actively meddles with said traffic and punishes you for something you have no control over (your IP address). It's a dystopian nightmare only second to online ads. But ads at least can be blocked — you have zero agency in case of Cloudflare.

Whenever I see the "one more step" crap, I just close that tab.

Cloudflare needs to stop existing, and it needs to do so yesterday.
