The Cloud Firewall extension for Firefox is funny (but not)

[drmollytov]

I installed the Cloud Firewall extension for Firefox today. It allows you to block sites that come from Amazon, Apple, Cloudflare, Google, Facebook, and/or Microsoft. (you can toggle which in settings)

...It broke like half my bookmarks. Which is funny, but also not, since it indicates just how much of the Web runs on these companies' architecture.

I'm keeping it. I have alternate browsers for stuff I absolutely need to access, like my bank's website (Cloudflare!). I'm going to look for alternatives to the others, though. No sense giving Big Tech more of my time, money, attention, or data than I absolutely have to.

If I didn't have enough reasons to move my website away from cloudflare pages already, I never though that people would be willing to block these services entirely, it is insane how much of the modern web relies on cloudlare content distribution, amazon web services and google services alone.
