This happens over normal cable internet connection (as someone mentioned below, it is probaby when a website is in IUAM) and it is not related to captchas.

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.
