Is the "privacy budget" an actual feature of chrome or just an idea? I've never heard of it until now.

It prevents others fingerprinting, not Google though. Isn't there that x-Client-Data header than chrome only sends to Google domains?

The X-Client-Data header is documented in https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.html#variat... and Chrome uses it to run experiments to make the browser better. It's not used for fingerprinting.

(Still speaking only for myself)
