How to make vivaldi as private and fast as Brave? (lemm.ee)

I am boycotting brave because of its sizeable amount of controversies and because it is American. I have decided to swap to Vivaldi but I have noticed a significant performance decrease on Speedometer 3.1 Benchmarks. Furthermore, according to EFF Cover my Tracks I now have a unique finger print and am easier to track.

My setup consists of using uBlock Origin (normal not lite) instead of Vivaldi's built in tracker & ad blocker.

Using ublock is probably making you much more unique.

Anything you change on a browser like installing extensions makes your fingerprint change and be more unique. Especially on a browser like Vivaldi that is not doing much anti-fingerprinting as far as I know.

Librewolf is a good option if you want more privacy and don't want to use brave.
