why anyone would use cloudflare for anything unless there were no other viable choice is beyond me. Honnestly, why? DNS has many, vastly better alternatives.

DNS has many, vastly better alternatives.
edit: explanation I thought was common knowledge. Set "do not track" on your browser and watch cloudflare break the internet for you without your consent. Far, far too much centralized power. Just don't.
- cj 3y agoWhat DNS respects user privacy and is more reliable and fast than Cloudflare? I’d love to be convinced to switch.
- harry8 3y agohttps://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ You "trust" cloudflare ?
- cj 3y agoYes. I know the latest HN trend is to hate on Cloudflare, but I’ve had zero negative experiences even as a heavy user (dns and CDN and workers) even during the major downtime events. The negativity toward Cloudflare has always confused me. I don’t get it.
- harry8 3y ago1. have no relationship with cloudflare. 2. turn on "do not track" 3. reach enlightenment.
- derekp7 3y agoIf you have DoH (DNS over HTTPS) turned on in Firefox, I think it defaults to Cloudflare as a DNS provider. I can't remember if DoH is on by default with Firefox though.
