I hate Cloudflare with burning passion. Not only is it a US company that centralizes internet infrastructure around itself, it also terminates TLS for way too many websites and sees their cleartext traffic. It then actively meddles with said traffic and punishes you for something you have no control over (your IP address). It's a dystopian nightmare only second to online ads. But ads at least can be blocked — you have zero agency in case of Cloudflare.

Whenever I see the "one more step" crap, I just close that tab.

Cloudflare needs to stop existing, and it needs to do so yesterday.
