The cloudflare CEO talks about "SSL added and removed here" [0].

Then I go to their website [1], and see that unfortunately they forgot to add this annotation in the description of their product [2].

Could anyone tell them please :)?

They are very clear and upfront about it and there are many cases where their simplest offering (the one with no encryption behind edge server) is good enough.

except the one with selfsigned certs doesn't really make a difference, and even for the last one as far as i know they still decrypt and recrypt stuff with their own key to be able to do caching etc.

Meaning, it's still not end to end, which is what you would expect when you hear SSL. Where are they upfront about that?
