Journey to secure my Internet has lead to some surprises

Selling a service isn't the same thing as selling a domain name.

I wonder if you believe people can buy domains that end in godaddy.com too just because godaddy sells domain names.

Your post has too much speculation to make a convincing argument, for me personally.

"Unlikely" - means nothing.

"they can hide" - they can also not hide.

I already know how my browser was compromised, but I'm not interested in giving out any more info.

I'm aware of what blocking CDNs does. I've been browsing that way for a while now. I can access plenty of other OCSPs that aren't run by unwanted middlemen.

Just because a corporation may have some bad eggs doesn't mean everyone is bad. The people you know, you yourself, may all be very well intentioned and goodhearted folk, and I would not be the least bit surprised. However, I have no comfort level with my traffic being intercepted. Intention has nothing to do with it.

I know how to clean my OS. You keep making suggestions that I knew 20 years ago. I don't care to clean my OS, because I don't need to. I have successfully and happily isolated my computer from unwanted traffic, and a clean OS isn't going to make me undo that.
