I disagree, a browser can have javascript execution disabled (and this is somewhat common in scraping to save time/resources).

I read it to mean: "A browser that doesn't execute the JavaScript bundle won't have [the rendered React elements]." Which is true.

Wouldn't a browser that doesn't execute JS also not execute the browser fingerprinting code in the first place?

If JavaScript is disabled, why use a headless browser instead of making HTTP requests directly?

A bunch of the points in this AI generated blog post were like that. Makes me feel dirty when I'm 1/3rd of the way through and I realise how off it is.

Hah, sure, you just let random JS execute from random sites on your machine...
