Is BlackFlare production-ready?

Legit.Show scores BlackFlare 79 out of 100 — the simple average of its 6 measured frames.

Its strongest frame is Privacy; its weakest is Security. 6 of the seven frames returned a score; Accessibility was not measurable on this service and is recorded as null — not as zero.
