I agree it is likely not malicious at all. It’s the result of koolaid in an echo chamber. And inertia at this point. However, I also think this is the poster child of the proverb that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Now Appl

If my understanding is correct, Cloudflare first released Browser Isolation 4 months ago. If my experience in the industry is relevant, they just barely released an MVP to get ‘something out the door’. I don’t know where accessibility is on
