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.

Vivaldi is a no-go for me due to these two reasons:

1- Chromium based 2- Does not respect the "open-source spirit"
