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.

Not really, often I'll click on some tech journal article on a subject I was searching for, and if I find they are CF protected I'll just go to the next one on the search results list until I find one that gives me the text without requiring interaction with undesirable domains like CF and Google. Same with capchas, I often just stop visiting a site if it institutes capchas. The web is a big place, I have lots of options.

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.

I agree with this, and with that novice/intermediate audience in mind your method here has my full support. I think this Tutorial will be very good for new users to eMatrix, which can have a bit of a daunting learning curve for some folks. I recall when I was a new uMatrix user there was a lot of stuff to get used to, and it seemed quite different from the noscript method, but once I got used to it I did not want to go back to using noscript. This is one reason (of many) I prefer to use Pale Moon as my primary browser, is that eMatrix is maintained and improved by @vannilla, whereas uMatrix on Firefox was abandoned by Raymond Hill 5 years ago and has grown stagnant.
