Hi everyone, with the whole Firefox ToS change and it's fingerprinting I asked on mastodon if anyone could recommend a web browser alternative to Firefox and was recommend to go with Vivaldi due to their no fingerprinting, and allowing unlock to still work even though it uses manifest v3.

I am already switching to librefox on windows, and fence on android.

But I wanted to ask if the claims for vivaldi where true?

I'm just some rando with no expertise to speak of .. but .. I just installed Vivaldi on Android and went to
https://coveryourtracks.eff.org and https://amiunique.org/fingerprint.

After testing Vivaldi, they both say it has a unique fingerprint.

Do these sites really tell the fingerprint story or is there more to it?
