I have successfully tested this on Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
(Unrelated to this PR but Heiko and I discovered a potential bug or at least odd behavior in Safari 18.x+ with the Who's Online module (with or without the PR applied) where if you reload the front-end page it increments by 1 the number of Who's Online guests even though there is still just you browsing the site - it may be because of a protective feature of Safari..)
Interestingly, (I checked the database) while the session_id is different each time the 820 byte data that is in the data field is IDENTICAL.
