This one seems be due to a hug of death rather than isitdownrightnow.com being behind Cloudflare, probably from too many people checking on all the other sites that are down. I say this because: (1) it eventually loaded for me after I tried

It depends on the website and the wallet, but either way the wallet app tells you what permissions it's giving the website. My guess is people don't pay attention or think about it. But it's not as parent described "the
