I am a little disappointed that Vivaldi did not do so well in this test. What do you think? Is there a way to improve Vivaldi in these areas? Is it necessary? Should privacy-conscious people use another browser?

Of course this is bullshit. One single Browser does not win in basically every category except this is an advertisement for said browser.

@Dirk @accentgrave, many are confused about what is important to privacy. These are not technical details or statistics (OS, screen resolution, language, etc.) that are important for the proper functioning of a web page, but personal data
It is always a compromise, if I activate all the protections it has, many pages stop working correctly. Privacy depends more on the search engines used and the user's common sense than on the browser(if other than Chrome/EDGE/Opera)

I use cookie whitelist AND a Javascript whitelist. I'm used to not "properly working" websites.

@Dirk, I'm too, good for pages which you know you can whitelist.
