Huh? Unique ID + /24 + screen resolution is the opposite of "not personally identifiable". You may not use it that way yet, but that's only because no one applied enough incentive or force yet.

There aren't all that many Vivaldi users out there so the /24 is probably already enough to uniquely identify the user in many cases.
