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.

It’s best to focus your efforts into rotating these IDs.
Anyone serious about privacy is using Firefox or Tor Browser, with various settings to harden it against tracking.
And you should be running the browser inside firejail at all times.
If the privacy reasons are driving you, see if you can find fixes to these issues without getting rid of systemd.
I’ve seen that it uses a different init system and doesn’t rely on either dbus or systemd
Other BSDs don’t have that, but have equivalent PCI tree identifiers. “hostid”, too, is found on many systems but is much less unique as it’s often a function of local network address.
