And down the toilet goes the (distributing and caching) Inter-Net. Long live to the new Cloud-Net. Cloudfare and Google are achieving what Compuserve and AOL could not.

Exaggerating slightly ... but not that much really. And all in the good name of privacy and security.

It is also amazing how people (Americans ?) are not willing to admit I want MY jurisdiction to apply. Not an American one. I want the choice.

Caching died with insecure HTTP, and that's okay.

Then turn it off. But the default protects more people than it harms.

Well, it's not really a choice if for security I must give up on jurisdiction ?

I don't doubt the intentions of Mozilla. But, I expect Mozilla to set the bar much higher.

> But the default protects more people than it harms. Sorry, not good enough for me. They should not be promoting a private company centralized solution. They really should be pushing for a decentralized and distributed solution that is yet secure for everyone involve and promote that.
