Dude. Cookie is a header, user agent is a header, ja3 is a header. It's the same stuff.

These protections are against ddos attacks, botnets, large crawling infrastructures that can lose by having to sync header info.

If you're just a single tired dev saving a website because you care about some content, none of this is a significant barrier.
