I maintain an RSS reader for work and Cloudflare is the bane of my existence. Tons of feeds will stop working at random and there’s nothing we can do about it except for individually contacting website owners and asking them to add an exception for their feed URL.

Ah yes, just wrap every protocol in HTTP to get through middle boxes. Just use chrome for all requests becaus fuck having a standard with different implementations. Next you're going to recommend to just automate a Windows PC through simulated mouse and keyboard input to deal with hardware attestation that these fuckers want to bring to the web.

Not my fault if the whole world bought the "openness" bullshit and then built cable-TV-with-mouse.

If that guy makes money with that and has an issue with the Great Firewall Of America, there's a (bad) solution.
