Can somebody explain what are the practical implications of this?

You'll need an "approved" browser and potentially "approved" hardware to access the web. Since Cloudflare is on this too, most of the web will be locked for anyone who doesn't use mainstream hardware.

Cloudflare want to be the internets backbone. And they've honestly succeeded.

Now it's almost impossible to access websites in an automated way -- the CTO posted you can just email him (>>34639212 ) and he'll sort it. Because that scales.

edit: Mispoke about the CTO, said he would approve you, I was wrong. Apologies.

Their DNS is "privacy focused", but they provide "aggregated results" of domains. How is that privacy focused?

Cloudflare came from the approach of being a developers friend ("Look! SSL is now free!") but was given the internet on a silver platter.

Also remember, Cloudflare is de-facto the moderator of the internet.

Whatever you may think of Kiwifarms, we all saw how that narrative unfolded from a technical perspective.
