Hello,
the PoW challenges used in some places under *.debian.org can now be
solved with a WebExtension [1] I've made for myself. Without the need
to surrender to the (not even clearly licensed) JS that is dynamically
served by the site.

Perhaps some of you will find this useful as well :)
Best!
Wojtek
