What I find really shocking is the abundant use of CF on piracy websites of all things. Not the serious ones of course, SciHub and library genesis are mirrored differently.
But a lot of small torrent websites and such simply won't load without JS and specifically CF code. It's pretty crazy. Luckily I don't use any of those bEcAuSe IlLeGaL but still, I find it really depressing, especially when webtorrent, IPFS etc are available, and frankly many of those pages will never have to bear a load that makes CF a requirement.
