Hm, you raise good points but I just thought when I was writing that comment, that if there was even a single case of somebody using that MITM then that would just make everyone leave cloudflare and find either other mechanism or something else that's safer for sure.

I think that cloudflare is used by most as DDOS protection and so they still have the servers.

There are also cloudflare workers and pages but even migrating them is somewhat doable as I think that cf workers have a local preview option somewhat available in their node etc., so you could run it locally somehow.

Sure its gonna be a huge huge problem but something that the internet might look past of (I think).

Honestly, I kinda wish that there was a way to have something like how the tor onion links work in the sense that the link has the public key of the person running the server and so uh, no matter if its cloudflare serving the link or something else, its still something that can't be MITM'd for the most part.

Am I right in thinking so? Sure, its gonna make the links longer but maybe sacrifices/compromises must be made?
