cloudflare is between the user and website so they have the ssl keys apparently

Ok, thank you for the information.
I don't know much about security, internet and stuff.

Yes it is always good to learn as much as you can and keep an open mind.

I don't understand, you say that most of the online wallet are unsafe because they use cloudfare, and then, you show that more online wallets are safe and don't use cloudfare  Huh


And would you mind to explain why cloudfare is a problem? And makes the website unsafe.
Blockchain.info is the most used online wallet so far I think.

I was reading the "best online wallet" thread and Theoryofbitcoin bought up a good point: cloudflare. Most online wallets I checked uses cloudflare. Can we compile a list on wallets to avoid because they can be MITMed by cloudflare? (they have their SSL keys)

I checked:

this forum - safe, no cloudflare
mtgox - safe, no cloudflare
inputs.io - safe, no cloudflare
blockchain.info - unsafe, cloudflare, (use chrome extension?)
coinbase.com - unsafe, cloudflare
