What's wrong with hardcore porn on daytime TV? I mean I wouldn't watch that channel (but I don't watch TV anyway), but some people maybe would. Right now they can open porn website any time of the day, so what's the diff

I use quick and dirty greps all the time, even when there is a "better" option available. It just works and is very intuitive in interactive contexts. Probably GP works in a similar way.

This reads like an advertisement. I routinely use GPG, and it is useful for me. It's not perfect (far from perfect, really), but it's a solution for multiple of my problems. I don't know much about the solution you promote, b

I don't think the burden of proof/R&D is on us. But there are many smart people around, I'm sure Cloudflare can pay some of them (even more surprising things are possible with cryptography). One far-fetched idea is to use
