Good luck if you want to escape CloudFlare: it sits between you and half of the internet even if you don't see it. This scary company is almost scarier than Google because it operates mostly in the background and out of sight, but it's just as invasive.

You only get your pants in a knot in this case because you see them. But if you truly want to escape CloudFlare, you should stop being online altogether.

Well, their big competition is AWS (Amazon web services) and Google.
