Honestly I like Cloudflare's CDN and DNS but beyond that I don't really trust much else from them. In the past though their blog has been one of the best in the space and the information has been pretty useful, almost being a gold standard for postmortems, but this seems especially bad. Definitely out of line compared to the rest of their posts. And with the recent Cursor debacle this doesn't help. I also don't really get their current obsession with porting every piece of software on Earth to Workers recently...

Days after the fake story about Cursor building a web browser from scratch with GPT-5.2 was debunked. Disbelief should be the default reaction to stories like this.

They did build a browser; it may not be a very compliant or complete browser, or even a useful one, but neither was IE6!

I believe it was basically a broken, non-functioning wrapper around Servo internals. That’s what I’d expect from a high schooler who says “i wrote a web browser”, but not what I’d expect from a multi-billion dollar corporation.

They didn't build a browser from scratch.

My understanding is that it doesn't even compile if you clone the repo.

It didn't and it had some pretty weird commit history and emails. Overall not a super great sign...
