Hmm, I have seen that post, do you mean a specific comment? The only relevant one I can see is the license one, which has a reply from Jason. EDIT: eastdakota filled me in, thanks John.
I currently use DNS66 for ad blocking on android without root. Is there a way to do something similar while using this app? Alternatively, I have a Xperia XA1 running a June 5, 2017 security patch. It's been my intent for a long time now to figure out how to get root without unlocking the boot loader the sony approved way (which makes the camera less functional). Anyone have any pointers on easy to exploit privilege…
It seems to me that in practice, Cloudflare's mission is not actually to build a better Internet, but to offer an alternative, proprietary network (one could call it the CloudflareNet), and convince content providers and consumers to use that network. Because I don't want any single company to have too much power, I'll stick with the standard Internet, which is not owned by any single company. However, I realize that…
I disagree with this statement. We haven't pushed incompatible standards or any other nonsense. We've literally pushed out the latest standards and enabled more encryption (see Universal SSL making SSL free years before Let's Encrypt; see enabling IPv6; enabling HTTP/2; etc. etc.). As for HTTP/3... so will we. See: https://blog.cloudflare.com/http-3-from-root-to-tip/ , https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-road-to-quic/ an…
So one could argue you are both pushing the latest standards and the latest nonsense. ;)

I don’t think this would fly for a number of reasons, but CloudFlare isn’t exactly a world leader or even a household name. They’re a newcomer in this space and for once they’re actually open with their community (us). If CloudFlare is the villain, then are CenturyLink & Comcast the heroes? By my estimation, we’re more likely to see any kind of doomsday scenario like that executed by cable companies and telcos — whic…
No one is the villain here, it's not that simple. These are companies that respond to market pressures. Routing around the network operators (both figuratively and literally) makes a lot of sense for large cloud providers. Especially so if there are no network neutrality rules in place to enforce free access to consumers (as opposed to consumer ISPs demanding payment for pushing content to their subscribers). Also, t…
If you measured that by doing a count() and group by on the domains of a traffic log, it would be easy to draw a conclusion that doesn't meaningfully reflect real user activity.

We don't host web sites. What nag screens are you talking about?
Captchas. Cloudflare made Tor unusable. This might have changed but in the past it made using Tor for anything beyond onion sites extremely annoying.

It's WireGuard [1] coupled with tech from our Mobile SDK [2] and (in the case of Warp+) Argo [3] 1- https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun 2- https://blog.cloudflare.com/mobile-sdk-acceleration/ 3- https://www.cloudflare.com/products/argo-smart-routing/
Is there significant differences from stock wireguard? Can I benefit from your work on my own server? Also I wonder how do you work with censors? For example Russia censors internet and requires that all VPN services cooperate and censor internet for Russian customers as well (probably they will ban services that won't comply). Will you cooperate or will you accept that Russian users won't be able to reach your servi…

Despite criticisms, I've been using the Brave browser on Android, which is pretty much Chrome with integrated AdBlock plus. Though there is some level of irksome override with some advertisers, it's been about the best overall experience for me. May actually switch my desktop browser at home when I build my new computer.
In all honesty it's pretty rare that I use anything not browser based that might have ads, but on principle I'd like to keep it around.
An aside from the comment, but I don't appreciate the derisive tone of their first paragraph: > a handful of elite tech companies decide to waste the time of literally billions of people with juvenile jokes that only they find funny. I sort of agree, but it's not nice, and not necessary. It also isn't particularly classy to then go on to say "and we're so much better, because we do useful things". (I do happen to fin…
