Either disable JavaScript before visiting the Wayback Machine, or stop the loading of the page just after it has loaded the text but before it performs the redirection (a bit tricky, you have to stop it at the right time).

You can't use the wayback machine without JS though, can you?

Given the link to the archive, it works without javascript for me. I disabled scripts from archive.org with umatrix and the archived page loaded just fine. The only difference from usual is the top bar that archive.org normally displays isn't present.

However you do seem to need javascript enabled to query the wayback machine from web.archive.org: "The Wayback Machine requires your browser to support JavaScript, please email [email protected] if you have any questions about this. "
