Cloudflare is both a great thing and a terrible thing that has happened to the internet in recent years.

Great in that they have a fantastic UI to add your site in, basically shielding the average user from attacks.

Bad from a standpoint of that now only Google, Bing, and maybe other big search engines have the capabilities to actually crawl the internet now.

I don't see us getting a massive innovation in search on the internet now that Google has such a massive foothold, and companies like Cloudflare stop innovation from happening.
