and the internet becomes sufficiently centralised that you only access a few IP addresses behind which most services are hosted. In other words, we can either
a) trust our ISP with DNS queries and IP addresses which fairly uniquely identify services or
b) trust Cloudflare with DNS queries and our ISP with IP addresses which fairly uniquely identify services or
c) move everything "behind Cloudflare" and solely trust Cloudflare
Given that I can cancel my ISP’s contract, I can hold them accountable if they spew my data into the internet and I have no idea who Cloudflare is or what their aims are, I’d much prefer a) over c). b) is just worse than a) or c).
