I really hope cloudflare doesn't go the way of a Google.<p>At one point they were benevolent dictators, and we the subjects enjoy being oppressed.<p>Now with the virtual signaling, rotted business ethics, 0 support available, and tone deaf corporate decisions, we put them into a place of power only to have it used against us.
This is interesting. I was wondering yesterday why Wikipedia does not use CloudFlare or some other CDN, but then I thought that cost would be enormous. It also crossed my mind that CF could sponsor the service, but then again - even they may not afford paying for the traffic for one of the world's most popular websites.<p>I am curious how this will unfold. Thank you Mr Prince and CloudFlare for your support. I am keeping my fingers crossed so this cooperation, in whatever form, is successful.
And another one bites the dust, increasing the monoculture of the web. Let's also not forget Firefox is going to enable DoH by default too, sending all our DNS queries to CloudFlare.<p>I don't know, I just think people should be much more concerned about this.
CF cannot handle extremely large attacks either; what makes this a more suitable solution than what they're currently using?<p>Edit: and before anyone downvotes me, understand that I am asking an earnest question. I don't know what Wikimedia currently uses to protect their infrastructure, and how it compares to Cloudflare.
