If you're referring to browser user agent, then yes it's trackable but other than that it is useless with no JS cause it can't access timezone, browser plugin, screen size, font or webgl rendering fingerprints.

Also I don't use "most browser" like chrome, I mostly use firefox focus or safari for my iPhone running lockdown mode; also librewolf in my personal computer.

You can still fingerprint a user based on CSS features.
