@chiraag my domain is trapped ATM, because my registrar decided to switch to CloudFlare mid-contract. I refuse to login to a CF site.

@resist1984 /sigh...I suppose you're not amenable to transferring the domain, since that would mean logging into your existing registrar one more time (presumably...)?

@resist1984 You could also use e.g. Decentraleyes or LocalCDN to serve the CloudFlare scripts locally (which is what I do, since so many sites I use even casually require CloudFlare).

@chiraag i appreciate the tip about Decentraleyes or LocalCDN. At 1st glance I don't see how they can prevent CloudFlare from seeing the traffic, but they look useful anyway. If I understand correctly, they reduce dependency on 3rd party js.

@resist1984 Yes, so instead of CloudFlare serving the script from their servers (which would help them know that you're visiting the site), the scripts and CSS get served locally, bypassing CloudFlare entirely.

Obviously there's nothing that can be done if they're using CloudFlare for hosting, say, assets like images.
