Those "cloudflare loading" screens that come up when visiting some low-traffic sites. It's probably more common for people using privacy blockers and browser containers to block tracking. I see it at least a few times per day and I get captchas on almost any site that uses them (regardless of being behind cloudflare).

That's "I'm Under Attack Mode" which is used by sites (mostly smaller ones) to protect against small DDoS attacks or scrapers.

  ... or individual browsers taking small steps to preserve their privacy. I obviously don't know how many Cloudflared sites I visit that don't pop up the nag. And Cloudflare's nag is certainly nicer than Google's more pervasive help-us-build-a-T-800 or Akamai's "just get lost". But that mode seemingly activates on light browsing just because it's coming from a slightly-less-trackable VPS address (non-shared), and that is a problem.

  I'd just like to mention that this service saved me once. I have a small low-end box and one of the sites I hosted (that belonged to a YouTube personality) was DDOS'ed for a while, it kept taking the server down. A combination of crafty server configuration and enabling the "Under Attack" mode helped me deal with it.

    Great. Glad to hear it!
