...I want to experience the fatigue of the CF Turnstile Challenge. It motivates me to seek out alternative sites, if they exist.

That's an interesting scenario, self-inflicted pain!

...when I land on a page that unexpectedly pops up a CF challenge, I like to take a moment and consider whether allowing CF to track me is worth whatever content is on that website. And I often decide that the content is not worth giving CF access to my visit. So I prefer the time wasting method.

This is interesting as well, but one would assume that if you are visiting a website, you'd want to see its content. And if it's not Cloudflare tracking you, then it'd be someone else probably "policing" the website.

Full respect to both scenarios since they are fully privacy-oriented, but clearly this guide is meant for novice/intermediate users, having them make sure they are not blocking Cloudflare themselves (and then complain about it). I believe the guide strikes a good balance between privacy and functionality. Cloudflare is everywhere, whether we like it or not. We are still blocking its tracking scripts.

More advanced, seasoned eMatrix users should already know what they are doing. The even more extreme uBO medium/hard mode users should be even rarer in Pale Moon. We have eMatrix for that kind of usage. Those "crude" uBO modes are now mostly for Firefox/Chromium users who have lost the beauty of uMatrix.
