The article focuses on techniques that help bots spoof browsers, to make them impersonate a typical human visitor.

It's not obvious how this helps people protect themselves against surveillance while being online. Using python scripting is not a practical way to browse. But it's handy to write scrappers.

It's certainly useful to misbehaving bots that try to evade anti-bots protection.
