      @pony It gets easier for me to steal your personal data

        @ceruleanspark I thought noscript was supposed to protect surfers

          @pony It's a matter of trust. Do you trust me, or cloudflare more?

            @ceruleanspark interesting. So why does Tor browser encourage all things to be blocked?

              @pony Because in most cases it's a bunch of third parties who you cannot verify trust with. IN this case, you know who the involved parties are (Cloudflare and me) and can make an informed-ish decision

            @ceruleanspark I don't care who gets my personal info, but does blocking cloudflare make the site run faster/

              @pony ...if you don't care who gets your personal info, why are you using Tor?

                @rarity I don't care while I'm using Firefox and Chrome because I'm being social. I don't super care on Tor either, but if I'm not surfing socially I like a modicum of privacy. I've mostly used tor over the past seven years simply to get around my university's filters.

                @ceruleanspark Don't get how that works, but I'll unlock it I guess.

                  @pony Cloudflares servers are both faster and closer to you than mine are. That's how they work. They take a copy of all the cacheable content on my page, and use their own high speed, geographically distributed network of servers to relay it to end users

                    @ceruleanspark cool. That makes sense.
