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? (lemmy.ml)

You either use TOR (only way to browse without an unique fingerprint) or have a hardened Firefox without using most sites that could potentially track you.

Browserleaks is not extensive but it gives you a good idea of how to reduce that fingerprint https://browserleaks.com . Another option is to use https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js but be sure to read their wiki
