The practical performance was abysmal, I moved PostgreSQL storage to a volume and it was very noticeably slower just by browsing the web app (compared to NVMe SSD storage).

For comparison, I'm now using UpCloud which uses network-attached storage for all volumes and easily hits 10k IOPS (up to 100k with some tuning).

I certainly may have missed something while testing this so I'm happy if someone else wants to contribute and correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure what workloads people run on Hetzner but the low-performance volumes and unreliable load balancers don't seem like a good fit for real production stuff with traffic.

Companies outside Google or the consortium can still claim royalties, and indeed they do. See the Sisvel VP9/AV1 patent pool for an example of patent holders claiming royalties for technologies used in VP9 and AV1.

> Unrelated to this incident, we were and are currently migrating our customer traffic to a new version of our proxy service, internally known as FL2. Both versions were affected by the issue, although the impact observed was different.

> Customers deployed on the new FL2 proxy engine, observed HTTP 5xx errors. Customers on our old proxy engine, known as FL, did not see errors, but bot scores were not generated correctly, resulting in all traffic receiving a bot score of zero. Customers that had rules deployed to block bots would have seen large numbers of false positives. Customers who were not using our bot score in their rules did not see any impact.

From weird decisions like the new tab page not actually being a tab like in every other browser on Earth, to consistent bugs and lack of polish in basics functions like scroll direction locking or scrolling to hide the top bar.
