A potential drawback is that using a third-party DNS server like Cloudflare means you're trusting them with your DNS queries. While Cloudflare is reputable, it's a trade-off between potentially faster speeds and increased reliance on a third party. Also, some websites might perform slightly differently due to Cloudflare's caching mechanisms.
