I see your point but 10% of the world's http traffic flows through Cloudflare, it is in their interest to provide a better web experience for their customers (enterprises and end-users alike).

For instance, for my mom, if instead of being subject to endless captchas due to privacy.resistFingerprinting [0], it might be okay to use Cloudflare's VPN/extension (esp since they promise to respect privacy), be able to resist fingerprinting, and not be subject to captchas. I see this as a better of two evils, since captchas aren't going away if you resist fingerprinting or use Tor, at least not anytime soon.

I'd like to think of this as OpenID-- even though it is bad privacy-wise (and single-point-of-failure security-wise), it was widely used for benefits to both the user and the service.

For me, though, the endless captchas are a price I'm willing to pay. YMMV.
