If you think of this as putting Playboy and Penthouse on the top shelf of the magazine rack behind an opaque cover more so than locking them inside a drill-proof, pick-proof safe, maybe it makes more sense? (You know, back when they still had print editions.)
It just seems obvious that making porn slightly harder to get to than disney.com is a smart move if you're a parent. Make it so that a typo in a URL doesn't splash hardcore porn in one click.
And sure there are lots of ways to accomplish this. Cloudflare is just providing one more and I personally like that. Even as a techie, I really hate doing network stuff at home and will be taking a close look at this at least after the configuration options become available.
I currently use AdGuard's DNS offering that blocks many surveillance IPs plus adult content. Will have to compare offerings.
I totally understand the critique of this from the political war zone they're diving into, but not from a "it's not perfect so it's stupid" perspective.
