Install Brave or Tor for the placebo or realize that fingerprinting does not matter at all if you have cookies enabled and if you do not is not stable over hours let alone months.

Stock chrome in Windows VM pass it through to your X session

you can't fully but i imagine a fully virtualized (ie, vm) for each activity would probably work best
>>
>>108968071
You can't effectively, the best alternative is having a randomized unique one each time you can. Torbrowser has this feature.

Well so do Safari and Brave, that's not one of the more important parts of Tor's privacy model.

VMs don't defeat fingerprints. Fingerprinting can use your mouse movements, navigation patterns, tendency to use keyboard shortcuts, how fast you scroll, mouse sensitivity, scrolling sensitivity, typing/typo patterns when drafting text etc.

The browser-based fingerprints using canvas, fonts, extensions, UA, browser headers, etc.
Is an old technology that is almost no longer used. For instance cloudflare almost only relies on mouse movement pattern to identify you reliably.

Similarly, google relies on preferences (what content you look at, what kind of search queries, youtube videos) to track you. Given that google analytics is almost everywhere nowadays, it's safe to say that you can't really escape google's surveillance. Also blocking analytics won't prevent google from tracking you if you use their services.

dawg google analytics is blocked by anything even remotely resembling an adblocker and a not insignificant amount of firewalls. Even fucking Microsoft Edge, the 2nd most privacy invasive browser on the planet after Yandex, blocks it by default.

It mayh be blocked, but you also have to avoid all google services. Including third party websites with google account integration (like stack overflow)

>>108972085
>you also have to avoid all google services
not especially difficult
>third party websites with google account integration
no, adblockers block loading those too. well, good ones. Not uBlock Origin.

Disable JavaScript and only access sites through anonymity services.

Which is to say you don't for the woke bullshit modern internet.
