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.

It's not Vivaldi, but it's not based in America and has a lot of privacy by default and there's even more you can add on about:config and some extensions. Waterfox is fast secure and more customizable as it's based on the Gecko engine. Which I think Vivaldi once used but I'm not 💯 on that.

I can't link the Security tab in their docs but above is the second link in the directory. You can add ublock origin and set useragent as well.
