I don't want my browser add-ons to make my fingerprint unique. How risky is it to add a password manager browser add-on? I've got Firefox and KeepassXC. Should I add the KeepassXC add-on to Firefox?

    Firefox fingerprint blocking has notorious errors with many websites. Instead of attempting to deny fingerprinting, Brave sends random info for each request. Maybe I’m missing something, how does denying fingerprinting for websites deemed untrusted make it more thorough than Brave which sends random info for any request??
