Blocking Cloudflare sites with Pi-hole?

The issue I am facing: While most people want Cloudflare, I want to avoid them and block sites that use them. Is this possible? Is there a blacklist of sites that use it? I have so much trouble with them I don't appreciate being randomly blocked and my privacy invaded by them. I realize this is not a popular opinion.

I have embedded a link into the title where a person is frustrated with Cloudflare.

I’m interested in knowing the extent of their telemetry and data collection. The user alleges that Cloudflare collects cookies from visitors when one visits a website using their proxy + CDN?

Just to be transparent: I’m not looking to use Cloudflare, I’m going to use my own setup with a VPS, however it is important to know about such technologies, especially since I work in IT.

    I generally avoid Cloudflare where possible personally because at the the end of the day, they’re a giant big tech company based in the US, with pretty much unprecedented control over the internet.

    With that said, last time I looked into their privacy policy, I thought it was acceptable, but that’s been a while ago, so not entirely sure nowadays. Either way I’m not a huge fan.
