Maybe domain fronting was initially disabled as an unsuccessful attempt to fix that bug, that's possible and as I said I was not involved in that decision. Still, if that's the case, there was a policy decision afterwards to leave it disabled, because disabling it did not fix the bug, as you seem to agree. (Again, not elaborating on the bug publicly without permission, but I remember it turned out to have nothing to do with the SNI.)

My point is that disabling domain fronting (or leaving it disabled after finding the bug's root cause) was a policy decision, not something necessary to mitigate the bug or prevent it from re-occurring.

I think maybe it's not the best approach to air out grudges with former employers in public. And apparently incorrect ones at that.

Just for the record, there are very few people on the Internet I would trust more about this kind of stuff than Filippo.

That just indicates poor judgement on your part.

I'm extraordinarily comfortable with how my comments here reflect on my judgement.

There are former employees who are honorable. There are others who are blatant, self-promotional liars.

Filippo: You, sadly, fall in the later camp and have for some time. You’re wrong here. You’re wrong most times you post uninformed speculation. It’s tiresome.

I wish you luck in whatever you’re doing post-Google and hope you find the success you’ve desired since our first conversation that will, I pray, stop you from your latent and seemingly unpatchable personality bug of making shit up and making yourself a more important figure in every story than you actually are or ever have been.
