User description

Description

This PR completes the existing notes, with the addition of Chrome v132+ that completely removes the old behaviour, meaning that you need to have SE_START_XVFB=true when running headless.

Motivation and Context

While trying recent versions of Docker Selenium, I noticed an issue with --headless and SE_START_XVFB.
