> Once Cloudflare starts using attestation to block anyone not on Chrome/iOS Safari it'll be too late to do anything about it.

That's just plain bs...

1) they have customers and their customers want protection, with minimal downsides.

2) Cloudflare is the only one with support for Tor. I'm 100% sure you didn't knew that.

What "examples" do you have to blame them for something they aren't doing? Based on what?

I'm getting tired of people blaming Cloudflare for providing a service that no one else can provide for free to small website owners => DDOS protection.

Could you please stop breaking the site guidelines? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

You're of course welcome to make your substantive points thoughtfully while staying within the rules.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

You're correct.

I reiterated over my last comments and they've been snarky lately.

Not an excuse, a lot is going on and overworked and without patience lately.

That shouldn't reflect in my comments and I'll pay more attention to it.

Have a good week.

Appreciated!

What do you mean? On Tor I get a Cloudflare block just from clicking 2 links on the front page of HN:

I can't remember any day I didn't get a Cloudflare block. Even on bare IP sometimes. WAFs are security theater.

Site admins can enable onion routing: https://developers.cloudflare.com/network/onion-routing/

Which circumvents the bad reputation of certain exit nodes:
