Apparently, Cloudflare already supports ECH, and a not-insignificant number of websites use them.

Unfortunately though, is that it's cloudflare

Can you give me more insight as to why you don't like cloudflare? I'm barely informed about this.

They created ECH. It makes what hosts you are visiting exclusive to them and browser companies when in use. You get marginal privacy through less companies being able to harvest your data.

Its marginal because that data is probably sold anyways.

That said, less competitors with the same data drives up the value when it does get sold which benefits, you guessed it, the author which is Cloudflare.
