bromite
Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!
FLoC as a source of fingerprinting bits has been an issue in W3C discussions of the project.
https://github.com/WICG/floc/issues/69
As a fingerprinting surface FLoC has similar properties to the Battery Status API -- not stable for the same user over long intervals, but can be used to help match pageviews from different domains that were close in time.

> Often times pages load very slowly, we're talking 5-8 seconds
If you are using uBlock Origin, you may want to see if un-checking "Uncloak canonical names" option in the "Settings" pane in the dashboard makes a difference.[1]
There have been reports of slow page load with some network configurations, and this has been linked to DNS lookup in uBO.[2]
Chromium-based browsers do not support CNAME-uncloaking, and so this would explain why the issue is not present in Google Chrome.

For Android I can also recommend Bromite. It's Chromium-based with a built-in ad blocker and focus on anti-fingerprinting.
