Using a FireFox based privacy browser, with aggressive settings extension etc, plus a VPN: anything behind Cloudflare is purely inaccessible to me. I could probably list the number of sites I can access on one hand. Most of the web requires fingerprinting and Chromium based browser with all of the extra tracking features Mozilla staff refuse to implement. I lost access to more than a dozen accounts over the weekend due to 10-minute-mail email addresses as usernames. I refuse to give you access to send junk to my inbox.

What bothers me even more (and they have legitimate reasons), is Brave came out with a statement a week or so ago that said were dropping support for extreme privacy settings in Brave because the large majority of the internet is just plain borked and it "singles you out".

Us engineers are not free of blame from this incentive nightmare. It's time to end this! Stop building software that allows spying on your friends and family.
