Did you know that “old” Chrome Headless (2017–2023) was a separate, alternate browser implementation that just happened to be shipped as part of the same Chrome binary? It doesn’t share any of the Chrome browser code in //chrome.

--headless=new in Chrome 112 on the other hand works the way you'd expect.

thanks for the ... heads up I guess?

BTW always have to quote one of your pages whenever it comes to Unicode in JS and stuff like that, so again, thanks for that!
