Tell HN: Cloudflare silently injects its analytics when you switch nameservers

What happened

A few hours ago I switched my nameservers to Cloudflare in order to enable R2 bucket serving through my own subdomain, and I found out that it silently had injected a JS analytics snippet in my HTML-only JS-free site textlog. cc — I had to go to the Analytics dashboard, Add the site to the analytics and then disable the snippet.

What changes

I find this approach entirely invasive, you should opt-in to features like that not have to opt-out. Just a warning out there to folks who might not be aware of this.
