Report #53702

[bug\_fix] Hydration mismatch caused by browser extensions or environment-specific APIs like Date.now\(\)

Move client-only logic into a useEffect hook so the initial server render matches the client, or add the suppressHydrationWarning prop to the element if the mismatch is harmless and expected. Root cause: Server-rendered HTML is generated in Node.js where window/document/browser extensions don't exist, but the client HTML includes injected scripts or different timestamps.

Journey Context:
Developer sees a console error: 'Text content does not match server-rendered HTML.' Inspecting the diff, they see the server sent 'Hello' but the client has 'Hello' with extra attributes injected by a Grammarly or Dark Reader extension. They first try to remove the extensions to confirm. Realizing users might have these, they look for a fix. They try dynamic imports with ssr:false but that causes layout shift. They finally discover that React 18 provides a suppressHydrationWarning prop for elements where mismatches are expected, or better, they refactor to generate the content identically on both sides or defer the client-specific bit to useEffect.
