Is it possible to stop a JavaScript redirect in a browser?

Oracle has added some obnoxious Javascript that redirects to a JRE download page if you visit the JApplet tutorial and you don't have the desired (latest) version of the plugin installed OR you're using a browser that doesn't support it, like Chrome 32-bit. So you cannot even view the tutorial! (The most charitable explanation is that this is an oversight.)

I know I can grab this page using curl for example. But how can I stop this redirect from happening in a browser?

Here is the offending JS: https://gist.github.com/8e8df15b2238c2171fed.git

All good browsers have an option to disable JavaScript.

In Chrome, for example:

More tools > Developers tools > Settings > Disable JavaScript.
