Override the ListCompare block.

Create Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml on your custom module

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <preference for="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Compare\ListCompare" type="Vendor\Module\Block\Product\Compare\ListCompare" />
</config>
