How do startups win over users? They do the right thing.

If you aren't aware, a malware company recently purchased the Github account and website for the Polyfill Javascript library.

Polyfill is an old library that helped sites achieve multi-browser compatibility.

Over 100,000 sites still use it.

Unfortunately, many sites that leverage this library are unaware of this issue.

So what did Cloudflare do?

For all of their paid and free-tier customers, they are now redirecting all requests for the malware-infected version to their own safe, malware-free version.

They did the right thing.

Which is why I am a happy, paying customer.
