They're a giant middleman getting everything you put into html forms unencrypted.

That includes all your usernames, passwords, and everything you submit via text boxes. Do not trust any site that uses cloudflare.

This is such a Lemmy take, good god.

"Cloudflare has been around for over a decade and doesn't do anything nefarious with my data and have never shown any intention of doing so... but, consider this for a moment... what if they DID?"

I know the response will be what you already said in a previous comment about companies saying "trust us bro" so I'll take the L on this one.

NGL I'm struggling to follow that image, do you have a higher res version or an explanation if you don't mind?

Oh hey, thanks for Lemmy!

Yeah, I'm a bit horrified to learn that Cloudflare is the crytographic endpoint for clients. I'm wondering how much stuff I've let them see while unaware now.

Y'know, because obviously nobody would voluntarily sign up for this kind of security bad practice. /s

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

No probs! Yeah it's wild that a lot of people not only using cloudflare sites, but also running them, don't seem to mind that cloudflare is hoovering up everything.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah I'll do a full research next time I enter a web page to see who hosts it. If it's by Amazon or Microsoft I'll give green light.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

None of the above is easily possible, a lot of us do it.
