      not really, just that cf was dropped in the migration. nobody ever really liked cloudflare as far as I know but it did make certain things a bit faster and safer from certain kinds of attack. At the expense of all traffic going through the servers of a US company, who could if they wanted to probably spy on contents of traffic
