Cloudflare's proxy sits between the user and the website, potentially interfering with AdBlock's ability to detect and block ads. Cloudflare's caching and security features can mask the original server's headers and scripts, making it difficult for AdBlock to identify ad-serving elements. Workarounds include enabling Cloudflare's 'Bypass' option in AdBlock (if available), using browser extensions specifically designed to handle Cloudflare ad blocking, or adjusting AdBlock's filter lists to target Cloudflare-specific ad patterns.
