Anyone else starting to get creeped out by the amount of sites using Cloudflare (including HN itself)?<p>By now these guys are probably handling at least 25% of all my webbrowsing traffic, and because of their man-in-the-middle architecture they are not only able to track your browsing habits, but also to actually see all the plaintext content flowing between you and the destination server.<p>This is starting to become one giant single point of failure as well as way too much private information in the hands of one single (USA-based, ahem) entity. And it&#x27;s not just sites like HN and Reddit; but also Bitcoin exchanges, domain name registrars, etc; sites you&#x27;d expect to be a little more picky about which party to BCC on every last bit of private user information.
