It’s just a glorified web scraper, I didn’t know it was this popular. You could build a barebones scraper and output in less than 10 lines with curl in PHP. And 12ftio used to inject its own code into the output, it’s funny how people were Ozzy with that.
Everyone who ever does web scraping knew serving it on his own public domain was going to be a problem.
That’s not even what 12ft.io was. It wasn’t scraping anything, it was just a redirect to the google web cache. Importantly, it was also accessible, something that anyone could use without installing anything.
