The smaller browsers I use: Dillo, Links, etc., have been getting
blocked by CloudFlare for years. They require Javascript and if
your browser doesn't support it (or maybe doesn't support it well
enough in those newer cases), tough luck. You just get a page
saying something like "Enable Javascript and cookies to continue".

Usually I skip such websites. Sometimes I view the archived copy on
the Wayback Machine, or if it's not there use archive.is to save
single pages (slowly) then view them there. Sometimes I grumble to
myself and resign to starting up Firefox to use it instead.
