Good. The less Google does the better the internet will be.

Are CloudFlare, Amazon or Microsoft any better? Google at least take security (if not privacy) very seriously.

In general it seems bad to have any huge profit-driven organisation exercising significant control over open standards, but I do think that Google is lesser than many of the other evils.

It's all big tech. I try to pick smaller companies myself.

It's only a matter of time before cloudflare becomes arrogant enough to be user hostile also.
