If you are actively blocking Cloudflare and you are still able to use the web services you rely on then I am genuinely jealous of you.
If you set up a website with cloudflare, their user interface has a lot of tracking stuff on by default to be injected into it. It also encourages you to use their https service where the traffic is not actually encrypted from the user to your server, but man-in-the-middle'd by cloudflare. But the interface makes it super easy to do and refers to it like a good and normal default option.
So yeah I think they really want your data.
Good luck reaching websites 😂
I suggest you also block anyone using AWS.
The "Alt+F4 is a cheatcode" of our times.
Reminds me of when my stepmother turned off the router because she didn’t want incoming radiation and then couldn’t figure why her emails were not arriving.
I think I'd rather practice other anti-tracking or anti-fingerprinting measures rather than blocking one of the largest CDN's in the world. But yes, they do track.
Doesn't Lemmy go down when Cloudflare goes down? Are you currently blocking CF?
Privacy policies doesnt mean anything, if it's a US based company. Doesnt matter if the servers are in the EU. They steal it anyway.
Look US Cloud Act.
