Weirdly, no, the most harmful part of the CFCs was the heavier and less reactive Cl. Turns out F is too reactive to be as harmful.

Yeh the F quickly forms a stable compound with whatever it can because it is really keen to donate it's electron. Cl sort of bimbles about, breaking up ozone left right and centre, lending it's electron then going "ah no I think I want that back, ta" then eventually finds something with which to bond.
