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.

Did we read the same article? Cloudflare is treating them, and anybody else that makes the same choices wrt EDNS, differently from the rest of the Internet.

I read the article, I'm pretty sure you are mistaken.

Cloudflare treats everybody the same: they never include client subnet in the EDNS field.

Archive.is is manually having their nameservers respond w/ junk records when queried by Cloudflare’s resolvers.
