If hit the Perimeter-X CAPTCHA then additional DNS data needed for:

   client.px-cloud.net 
   captcha.px-cloud.net
   js.px-cloud.net

After solving the CAPTCHA, remove annoying Javascript before reading. Something like:

   firefox https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-10/web-scraper-sets-1-million-bug-bounty-as-industry-scrutinized
   Ctrl-U
   Ctrl-S Save as 1.htm

   egrep -o "(type\":\"paragraph)|(type\":\"text\",\"value\":\"[^\"]+)" 1.htm \
   |sed '/Read More:/{N;d;};s/type\":\"paragraph/<p>/;s/.\{22\}//' \
   |sed '1s/^/<meta charset=utf-8>/' > 2.htm

   firefox ./2.htm
   #links 2.htm
