Cloudflare is too sporadic(if thats the rught word) depending on who/what, your connecting too.
Though I who use Tor much of the time am sure they are purposly just pissing us off…
Iv read the actual reasons they have it setup in such way to prevent misuse but just needing to collect/log such information does not outweigh something that so far has proven to be impossible as with every new design comes with new flaws that can be abused.
And have their huge ideas to streghtrwn security are rarely in place to actually have any effect. They come across as gimmicky bs’erd to stay in the light as e now so big they dpnt need new ideas yo keep ahead. But people think Warp is great and speeds up their browsing.m
Quite a lot. If you are really “F-droid contributor” it is hard to miss it, isn’t it? Apps which make an Internet connection in background should be reviewed carefully, and flag it Intercepted if the destination is Cloudflare.
I stopped using F-droid because I switched to other phone.
I’m going to leave it here. It’s obvious to me you’ve been assuming bad faith, but I hate playing that card, so I’ll leave it with what you already know, I hope: The communication with users could be improved. A lot. IMO.
I realize you spend lots of time in gitlab. I don’t. I won’t. I skimmed a few issue threads, was surprised by what I saw, and asked for clarification.
I follow the “news” and forum. If I missed the news on collaboration with Cloudflare and how that will benefit users and be consistent with Foss and privacy values, I assume you would link that. “Decentralizing Distribution” had potential, but didn’t mention Cloudflare.

Instead, I’m concluding f-droid is doing stuff here that isn’t 100% in line with Foss and privacy, and don’t really want to, or can’t, give a concise explanation.
Yes, I know how to add repos. I don’t know how to add more official f-droid mirrors; only how to toggle them off/on. I don’t know which of those are behind Cloudflare, if any.
On the OP, It may be a safe bet that 50+/-% (SWAG) of apps with network permission or non free net tags are using or interacting with servers behind Cloudflare.
I can see why LK answered with a question. That’s too many to tag.
That’s the problem, you jumped to conclusions in your first post here. When asked to explain… you don’t care. Yeah… fun…
Yes, but justsomeguy started the holy war against CF in F-Droid Client for all the wrong reasons. As the other thread links show not only I have been against a mirror on CF, but others too, but you know, why see that that? Better raise some drama…
/LE: funny enough that would help it since the site is soooo slow, know issue
Cause rapid fire posts without documenting, as seen above, help no one. Also keep me from doing more useful stuff elsewhere (ahem Gitlab) since I need to put out imaginary fires here
You all get upset over Cloudflare yet many other CDNs pull the same nonsense, but because you don’t know their name you keep your head in sand and keep screaming “but Cloudflare!?111?!!!”.
You want a tag for Akamai? for AWS? for Google Cloud? for Oracle Cloud? for Fastly? for Edgecast? Limelight?
If a mirror exists somewhere of course there’s an arrangement, be it CF or any other mirror. Now you’ll spin the meaning of the word arrangement right? Agreement is a synonym. the details are in the public view, as you’ve read in the links in Suddenly Sickness Feels, Cloudflare, really F-Droid?
Maybe CF has edge nodes in the “peoples” country or continent, maybe that helps them, dunno, people should make their own research too.
Adding a mirror to F-Droid? In Settings - Repos - press the title bar Plus icon… write mirror address.
