Cloudfares behaviour is shameful, I use palemoon as my everyday browser and am becoming increasing frustrated and extremely disapointed at the attitude and behaviours of these companies that espouse to have 'our best interests' at heart. I believe that the end user should have complete autonomy to decide for themselves which software they are going to use on their own machine.
The internet was hailed as great achievement by humanity, it was going to make our lives easier, make us more connected and unite us all, the reality is the interent is nothing more that a humungous data harvester used to extract revenue from the end users by selling every single concievable piece of data possible about them in order to saturate their lives with vapid and meaningless advertising and marketting drivel so that the corporations can continue to line their own pockets.
In order to achieve this, 'gatekeepers' like cloudfare have taken the notion of 'protecting your security' and completey warped and disfigured it until it's nothing more than a means for them to carrol us into using their 'approved' browsers, essentially banishing the freedom to choose from our internet experience and leaving us vunerable to the data havesting and privacy invading behaviour of the marketting and advertising gimps. These people have a mental health condition and are obessed. They are OCD about advertising and generating revenue - this is a sickness!
Cloudfare's attempts to force us into using browsers they aprove us is illegal, and shows just how fascist the internet actually is. Some of us don't want our data being taken, it's not like we see a single penny from the sale and resale of it all is it??? We are exploited daily and expected to quietly lap it up. Some us like our privacy and the freedom to choose for ourselves, this is our right, and we shall not have our rights eroded by a corporate monolith that employs lazy coders and tech staff who refuse to make allowances for the diversity of browsers available whilst literally shoving racial and social diversity down our throats at every oppurtunity possible, who refuse to adjust their code, employees who deliberately and mailicously target the indie browsers with their flippant attitude towards the number of users not being as high as the browsers they approve of .....here's a newsflash - Those browsers only have such high user figures because organisations like CF are forcing everyone to use them. People don't understand that companies like google are setting the web compatibility standards so that their browsers run faster and appear to give a 'better performance', people like cloudfare are aidding and abetting in this illegal attemp to monopolise the internet and tech.
Cloudfare's response to this latest situation and the lack of channels for non-corporate users to communicate with them is just more evidence of the insidious nature of this organisation. The silence speaks volumes and the fact they only do anything AFTER articles like this one on The Register show they care more about their own image than they do about the actual service they provide or the users experience, but of course, we're all conditioned to this now, it's par for the course, we're the plebs expected to blindly jump through hoops and do nothing but generate wealth for a small minority who are mentally unwell and so obsessed with generating wealth to the point that their compassion and ability to function like decent human beings has been completely eroded. They display a complete lack of self awareness and are steeped in an outdated mental attitude rooted in bigotry and the immature and childish need to control other's behaviours. Cloudfare need to grow up and start actling like mature adults, and the whole tech sector needs to stop trying to punish and abuse us simply because we won't use one of their crappy pieces of data harvesting bloatware, y'all need to grow the hell up, it's 2025!!
