Detect Cloudflare
Adds an icon to the toolbar which indicates whether the current page uses Cloudflare. If it does, the icon changes color. Detection is performed by analyzing the response headers of all requests.
Add-on note
anti-cloudflare - won't change anything, just becomes red if the website uses cloudflare (bc CF is evil - https://gitlab.com/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/-/blob/master/readme/en.md, https://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/stay-away-from-cloudflare.html)

Make the browser forget website data (like cookies, local storage, etc.), except for the data you want to keep by adding domains to a whitelist, graylist, blacklist, or redlist.
