So, what's the solution to all of this? Are there any settings I need to modify to Chrome to not allow certain info to be queried?

Use a different browser altogether. Chrome is never ideal for anyone who cares even a little bit about privacy. Use [Brave][0].

yes but then you become a "suspicious user" and you have to fill 100 CPATCHAs every day

at this point browser fingerprinting is a feature, not a bug

I second this. I tried to use Tor browser for a day in place of my regular browser. Many websites wouldn't open and the ones that dud asked me to fill in thousand captchas.

		Even the unmodified Firefox browser with a few of the privacy settings turned on break a lot of sites.

To be frank, in my book, relative to inadvertently being fingerprinted and tracked wherever I go, I consider being consistently faced with “let’s confirm you’re not a robot” popups and pages to be a minor inconvenience.

		Consider that all those CAPTCHAs are fingerprinting your browser anyway, and probably also your biometrics (through your inputs while solving each CAPTCHA).
