What is the optimal balance between centralization and decentralization? Most people in this thread are complaining about how using a big centralized service (cloudfare) causes so much damage when security issues come up, and yet I have seen many people advocate using a single password manager (like 1password) to which this exact type of huge security problem can happen (your password manager is the single point of security failure which can comprimise all of your accounts!!!).
What is the optimal solution???
There's a difference between a MITM proxy in front of a huge portion of the web and a password manager that's running locally on a personal machine.
Also there's the 2-factor stuff to protect you when you somehow lose your manager's master password. What protects you when the proxy in front of you misbehaves and exposes your shit?
