That's good to know, thank you. I'm been considering moving away from systemd, and certainly don't use Chrome.

The number of things you need to try to keep track of merely _improve_ your privacy is maddening. The whole world seems to be against you.

D-Bus is much harder to get rid of than systemd.

It’s best to focus your efforts into rotating these IDs.

Would OpenBSD solve both of these issues or is there a device ID in there that I’m not aware of.

I’ve seen that it uses a different init system and doesn’t rely on either dbus or systemd

firejail has a setting to generate a random machine id at every run.

And you should be running the browser inside firejail at all times.
