Really liking Vivaldi so far. The baked in adblocking and encrypted syncing is neat. Everybody also always recommends Brave as "good out of the box" where you can use it straight away without any tinkering...
Don't ask, test and answer for yourself. Do fingerprint and security checks and see what comes out best.
I use Brave and uBlock. It does better when tested than all the others, including Vanadium, which SHOULD be besting them all. Firefox has come in second but still can't stop it from bring fingerprinted regardless of what I do to it, that includes its spinoffs. Brave passes them all with its default config.

There's more in depth checks, but that easily covers the bases. If you're being positively fingerprinted, the rest is a moot point.
