Cloudflare typically provides DDOS protection to websites, as well as CAPTCHAs and preventing bots from accessing sites, and can speed up connections through use of their CDN, among other things they offer.
People mostly dislike Cloudflare to my understanding because at the end of the day, they’re a giant US big tech company with a pretty massive amount of centralized control over the internet. I personally avoid them where possible, and know a lot of others wish to as well due to it.
Please someone explian the cloudflare bit.
I mean, who doesn’t like a random table without some further explanation?

OK thanks for the explanation
It makes you activate cookies and JavaScript, which serves to deanonymize you.
