    Adding the instructions for UngoogledChromium which I use a lot.
    Extensions are now installable but @chrome store blocked by monopoly playing google.
    I have u Block origin installed, download unpack, install unpacked extension as developer. Downloaded from: http://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases.
    Download zip for chrome.

    Search chrome://about/ for a full list of settings and features.
    Pls check following are enabled.
    Enable Canvas image data fingerprint deception
    Enable Canvas::measureText() fingerprint deception
    Enable get*ClientRects() fingerprint deception

    If you suffer crashes disable graphics acceleration. Keep an eye on cache size which is a problem with ALL chrome based browsers.

    I use below code in my .desktop-session/startup file, no more gigabyte size cache, bybye supercooky tracking function of website startup graphics cache.
    OT, can be modified to do same for Firefox LibreWolf, Palemeoon. Moving entire cache to temp can be problematic as some applications misuse the area to
    save settings.

    #Moves chromium cache to temp.  Thanks to xecure. 
#First line only needed if chromium cache exists in home
[ -d "$HOME/.cache/chromium" ] && rm -rf $HOME/.cache/chromium
mkdir -p /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium && ln -sf /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium /home/herold/.cache/chromium
mkdir -p /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium/Default && ln -sf /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium/Default /home/herold/.cache/chromium/Default
