True. After reading—and identifying with—the article, I had an irresistible urge to go post it on Twitter. Thirty seconds later I realized I was scrolling through my feed and hadn't even done what I had gone there to do! sigh

Hmm, it looks like the Caddy web server got $50,000 at one point (in 2016 apparently). They were the ones who recently decided (in mid 2017) that it was a good idea to add HTTP headers advertising the names of their sponsors to their open s

Yes! I do this as well after reading about it on some Reddit thread. Fantastic use case for opening random links from email and chat (and Focus is actually very smooth)!

I would say WhatsApp could use domain fronting like Signal, but that technique requires the adversarial government or ISP to decide that blocking Google.com—or whatever large, important domain is doing the fronting—is worth the cost to bloc
