#Stackexchange just became a Cloudflare site, which means it’s now an exclusive resource and also everyone’s data including usernames & passwords are exposed to Cloudflare.

This is antithetical to the pro-privacy philosophies of the #Monero community. Please consider removing it from the sidebar or caution people about CF. Thanks.

A list of Cloudflare-compromised domains is being tracked here. You can also use this query tool to lookup websites:

There is a browser plugin called BMCA which will detect when you click on a link to a Cloudflare service and redirect you to the archive.org mirror of that site so you don’t connect to CF. There’s another plugin that puts a strikethrough on CF URLs so you know before you click if something is CF’d. Those tools along with others are published here:

Search engines have become extremely polluted with Cloudflare sites in the results. There is a search service called Ombrelo that filters out CF sites from the results:

W.r.t. a list of CF’s dangers, I don’t know of a paper that covers that as a thesis. A lot of the problems with Cloudflare are documented here and in other documents in that same repo.
