Firefox with either

a hardening guide [Tebibyte guide] [Brainfuck Sec guide] or
arkenfox
in general, enabling Firefox's Fingerprint protection

Through uBlock, enabling JavaScript on a site-by-site basis can help with privacy. Although, because disabling JS is uncommon, it can increase the uniqueness of your fingerprint.
