It just gets in the way for users these days.
The periodic pre-load "checking your browser" delay, and the absolutely infuriating, and almost constant, captcha makes it a positively user hostile service.
I won't use the net from public wifi without VPN active, which now means cloudflare asks for that captcha for every site in its control, and re-asks every 30 minutes. A year ago it was rare for the captcha to pop up, now it's near permanent.

Most of the time now I'll just go elsewhere.
