Use Chrome enhanced privacy protection now.
That way it'll just be one of their closest friends, who might coincidentally sell it to the other 755.
Do never use Chrome. Use Firefox based Browsers (Librewolf, Mull)

You could try changing the user agent string in Firefox to make the site think you're using chrome
