Google blocked my Chrome extension so I created a website to host it

If I'm reading this correctly, the extension sends every URL you use it on to some random service hosted on Cloudflare workers [1]. That doesn't sound good...

Yes that is correct. The random web service fetches a copy of the cached version of the page.

If you're interested I can show you the source code

This doesn’t really solve the old problem that there’s no proof the source code you show is the one that runs on Cloudflare. Couldn’t that code run locally?

Yes, I believe It's possible to replicate the same behaviour locally. I'll try to do that in the next update

+1, I'd love to see the server-side code as well!

Will you license it for reuse?

I hope he doesn't. Asking that question is the equivalent of walking up to someone and begging for money.

I encourage developers here and elsewhere to reward each other for the fruits of their labor, instead of expecting a free lunch.

why do so many need a CDN recently?

Cloudflare Workers principally is hosting.
