I hope more websites will move away from cloudflare. I could not access 90% of the web anymore. This is insane if just 1 company goes down, the whole internet is dead. The internet is broken!
and it's fucking annoying to check the box to "prove you're a human" when trying to access almost any site. some days it will make me do it three times before letting me through
It isn't just annoying, it often breaks for people on less-popular browsers. Plus, it requires you to run Cloudflare's Javascript. You think this outage was bad—what do you think would happen if someone slipped them a bit of malware?
