Of course this depends on what services we're discussing but for example, ad blockers and privacy badger cannot prevent Google from reading your E-mail contents. The only thing that can stop that is PGP, and it's not a coincidence

I am immediately suspicious of this because HTTP/2 only operates over HTTPS. So for them to market this webserver as being special because it defaults to HTTP/2 over HTTPS is the sort of thing a snake oil vendor would do. Also com
