20.11 bits of identifying info in Panopticlick test

Reported by stu...@anchev.net, Jan 31 2018 
Chrome Version       : 64.0.3282.119
OS Version: openSUSE Leap 42.3
URLs (if applicable) : https://panopticlick.eff.org/
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
    Tor: 6.57 bits (with factory settings)
    Firefox 58: 9.7 bits (with additional strengthening using https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/)
    IceCat: 7.9 bits (with factory settings)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create new browser profile with settings as described in  bug #795526 
2. https://panopticlick.eff.org/
3. Run the test

What is the expected result?
The browser should protect from fingerprinting and provide relevant settings for additional privacy in regards to that.

What happens instead of that?
20.11 bits of identifying info - more than the average as per EFF's whitepaper.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Thanks, George. I'm working on reducing the fingerprinting surface of Chrome. I'd like to avoid breaking (too many) websites though, which makes this a difficult task. Issue 860229 is a very small step in that direction, but I hope there'll be more progress soon.
