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.

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!
