    That’s actually a reasonable verdict.

    While DNS is a basic need, CDN is a luxury.

    Does the verdict mention anything about the DNS service itself (buying a website through cloudflare and setting up records)? Or is it just concerning the public DNS resolver (1.1.1.1?)

      This article clearly is just about the public DNS resolver. Using cloudflare to register a domain is well different, in particular cause it’ll play a “significant” role to make it accessible. (as 1. it is not neutral (you need to be a customer) and 2. Removing a registration will block it for everyone).
