> I really don't get why people think that signed exchanges are this super nefarious plot to destroy the open web My biggest concern is that the request will go to a google-owned server, where google can fully track me, and my browser would be lying to me about being on a non-google estate I might assume be free from Google’s tracking. Site-owners will now also be forced to buy into Google Analytics since they have no requests in their own server-logs to analyse. It’s a power-grab. And obviously google is doing this to increase their ability to do full internet-wide tracking.

> My biggest concern is that the request will go to a google-owned server, where google can fully track me. I'm not exactly sure what the fear here is. You're only getting to the page by clicking a link in Google Search and then your browser fetches a bundle from Google's servers. In your ideal world you would click a link in Google Search, telling Google what you're looking at, and then connect to the site via Cloudflare, and the source site's servers telling them too? The flip side to these is that your browser can actually act as your agent with this. If you find yourself a nice privacy-respecting CDN then your browser can try to pull from there when you click any link and you now have way less exposure.
