Yes that seems to work for me too, strangely. Anyway that particular URL was just a random example I found in Firefox's history.
I see, here is a similar thread in Palemoon: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31339
Seems unlikely that it will be tied to a JS-free option for the initial "proof-of-work" challenge. But yes it might be useful after completing the first challenge in Firefox, if switching browser can work in practice.
Privacy pass is not tied to a particular challenge. Cloudflare now supports a JS captcha but other non-JS challenges may be added in the future. On the other hand, this also opens the door to Apple enforcing only non-modified iOS systems to access a website, which is just pure evil, see: https://educatedguesswork.org/posts/private-access-tokens/ I think the idea of private tokens may eventually solve the spam problem, but I think in its current form is harmful.
