You can easily replace their domain with any other IPFS gateway. On top of that they add further validation to the idea that IPFS is a good idea. Seems like an overall win to me.
If you analyze any decentralized system long enough you'll discover that it can't be used in practice by regular end-users without some element of centralization.
I agree. I think the fact that we need a gateway is a big problem. And relying on a big company like Cloudflare is a bigger one.
I think that overall this might help for adoption as long as people don't start using Cloudflare URLs. But ultimately we need IPFS somehow integrated into Firefox and Chromium I believe. Or some other seamless integration software.
Confidentiality without central gateways. The topic was, "with stripped down SSL" and evey user should be aware of, cloudflare can read and store every content of every connection made to a domain connected to cloudflare gateways even if they seem to be end-to-end-encrypted.
