Run a network monitor and visit just about any webpage; you'll see Google IPs and a lot of them. Not using Google is reasonable advice and one could start by at least not having an active account, but I'm not sure how effective that would be. Convolution still seems worth the effort, but perhaps ideally, through more sophisticated methods. Some of the metrics you mention could be randomized.

I know that is not something for a normal person, but neither is this search fogging, so seems like there might be better ways to do it. Not having an account would likely not help at all. All those companies have profiles about you even without an account. You might get lucky and start out as a few separate profiles, but they will eventually link them together.
