The New Cabal of the Web: 1) CloudFlare, 2) Google, 3) Mozilla, 4) Let&#x27;s Encrypt, 5) a smattering of contributing vendors, 6) internet-related standards bodies, and a few other orgs I&#x27;m forgetting or not familiar with. Pretty much the entire WWW is being shaped and controlled by this group. &quot;Open Web&quot; my ass.<p>The really <i>insane</i> thing to me is that a lot of this tech is being pushed with the argument that they need to get around &quot;port blocking&quot;. Uh. These groups setting these new standards run the most critical parts of the WWW, which is the most critical part of the Internet outside of the routing of it. They could get everyone to open up a god damn firewall port if they wanted. I mean this is just ridiculous. There&#x27;s 65,535 ports and we only get to use <i>one of them</i> (443) because people are too lazy to do anything else?
