I depend on my ISP doing so. If I don't share a, let's say, /16 block with all the customers of my ISP, then it's not as safe as CG-NAT is.

I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm happy with CG-NAT because of the security and privacy benefits.

This thing of having a per-device IP address looks like the wet dream of marketers and those newspapers that won't let you look at more than X articles a month. No thanks.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with shader replacement. Quite the opposite, as it shows the OEM cares about performance. They have two options: convince the game developer to use a better optimised shader or just replace it themselves. The latter is obviously better.

It started being meaningless thanks to Let's Encrypt. Before it meant you had to show your ID and banking info to a "reputable" corporation for them to make a cert for you. Yes I know I know, not always the case, but...

LE means that the mantra "if it's https then it's a secure and reputable website" is now outdated.
