Well, that's too bad. Bad actors ruined it for you. We make things more annoying for VPN traffic because it's 99% bad actors. Every time someone is up to no good on our services, they're behind Tor/VPN. It's simple cost/benefit analysis. If you think a business should bend to every single whim someone might have, then you haven't built much of one. Making someone run Javascript so they can click on a captcha? Worth the loss of a few pennies because someone's angry about it on HN. You need to conveniently ignore why people use Cloudflare to say that Cloudflare is breaking the internet. Ideally, nobody would have to use it, but that isn't reality. |

Cloudflare provides some page with JS code that computes something and then procedes to the correct page if it is computed correctly.
So I can either enable JS both for the cloudflare interstitial page and for the target website, or I'm not able to access the website.
I'm not angry, I just close the website/go back to search results. I will not allow the browser to run random JS code from the target website for no reason, just because the interstitial page requires it.
Still, if someone requires computing random challenges in javscript in order to gain access to a web page, they're breaking the web. Javascript is still an optional addon.
