Amusingly, in your second link, Google refers to watches as “watches,” “clocks,” and “watchmen.”

Many sites these days are hosted on cloud services not owned by the company owning the site, and in these cases it can fairly hard to find the actual domain from the IP address. In other cases, however, you’re right—the ISP can still figure

It’s not a “real” VPN. I’m not sure exactly how much it does, but everything but the actual DNS queries happen on-device, with other network connections not touching CloudFlare servers.

Any specific thing that either of them are doing wrong, or just hypothetical? Not a huge fan of a lot of things Google does, but they do seem to run 8.8.8.8 quite responsibly. (I don't have much against Cloudflare, and they also seem t

I imagine that they’re saying Safari users are generally of a “more valuable” demographic (maybe because they’re rich enough to afford Macs?)

> Netflix has a right to rent physical discs, but streaming is different than lending. I’m curious about this. I mean it’s different in terms of implementation and law, but conceptually it’s pretty similar. Side-note-thought-experiment:

Google's claim (which I'm inclined to believe) is that the previous state is more confusing to the average user. While we think in terms of "content" vs "browser", apparently the average user does not, and find

The JSON/HTTP protocol may be more complex than DNS, but Firefox is likely to already have a very good implementation. TLS is new, but important.

Not that it’s a bad idea in general, but I don’t think it would help in this situation. I’ve never published NPM packages, but I’m assuming that it only asks for a 2FA token when you first log in, and not every time you publish. Because thi
