The only thing I've seen it used for is skipping captchas on cloudflare.

How would I notice it, for example I noticed cloudflare was listed, and lemmy.world is currently using it until they can move off it I believe. Does that mean I could see it somewhere while accessing that instance?

If you go to a cloudflare hosted site and it thinks you might be a bot if your browser supports it it'll skip the captcha. The point of it is that you don't notice it. Here's a blog article on it from them: https://blog.cloudflare.com/eliminating-captchas-on-iphones-and-macs-using-new-standard/
