#Stackexchange just became a Cloudflare site, which means it’s now an exclusive resource and also everyone’s data including usernames & passwords are exposed to Cloudflare. Please consider removing it from the sidebar or caution people about CF. Thanks.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is wrong with Cloudflare?

General overview:

https://git.kescher.at/dCF/deCloudflare/src/branch/master/subfiles/rapsheet.cloudflare.md

The problem with linking to a Cloudflare resource is that it’s a walled garden that excludes some people. It would be like directing people to a Facebook link that’s only reachable to members. Not all subscribers or visitors of https://programming.dev/c/latex necessarily have a Facebook account, for example. Likewise, nor do they necessarily satisfy the gate-keeping demands of Cloudflare.

Those who do pass Cloudflare’s entry criteria are mostly unaware that their traffic is decrypted by Cloudflare (not #Stackexchange), thus giving CF a full view of everything you do on the site.
