Using mxlinux.org as the test case, I can successfully connect after 
CloudFlare verification with Brave, Firefox, Tor, and Librewolf.  Lynx 
reports:

"Just a moment...

That's expected. No JavaScript, no proof of work. Of course if you use a 
browser without JavaScript in 2026 don't expect to do much on the web. 
What browser are you using that is reject with JS enabled?
