CDN cartel? Why such a negative take on CDN? Genuinely curious (I know little about CDNs)



cdns are in a unique position (besides google analytics, facebook pixel, webchat services, etc), to track you across the internet and different domains.


Further, they are proprietary, non-open, they insert their branding into your site, and pass the blame for errors to their customers when they fail. They abuse an oligopoly position and obfuscate the addressing details of sites under their protection
