The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in collaboration with Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It aims to eliminate data collection and provide user-centric browsing services, ensuring online activity remains private and secure. The browser has the same fingerprinting protection as the Tor Browser, but connects to the internet without Tor Network or VPN instead. The Mullvad Browser provides anti-fingerprinting protections.

The idea is to provide one more alternative – beside the Tor Network – to browse the internet with more privacy. To get as many people as possible to fight the big data gathering of today. To free the internet from mass surveillance.

    You can compare Mullvad Browser with your Firefox Browser. Just do a Fingerprint Test:

    coveryourtracks.eff.org

    Is your Firefox better? Does it hide more details about you? No.

    Your Firefox is likely very unique. So your settings and extensions appear to be special; let’s say you stick out of the others. Also your Screen-Size and if its a touchable screen and how much RAM your device has and so on… Mullvad Browser makes all users look much more like the same user - users are less identifiable.

      Default Firefox settings with uBlock Origin results in everything passing except the unique fingerprint, and hardening Firefox to do that is easy enough with something like Privacy Badger, some fingerprint anonymization extensions or just disabling JavaScript. From my experience, though, doing that will make the web nigh-unusable for the average user with sites regularly breaking or constantly spamming you with Captchas wherever you go.

      I’m curious how “usable” Mullvade Browser is for the everyday user, compared to Firefox with uBlock Origin.

        You can get Mulvad as a Firefox extension FYI. I was just on the page.

        What’s interesting is that on mobile Firefox passes less of those checks than DuckDuckgo

          Weirdly enough I got better results with Bromite instead of Fennec and Mull (even when they’re running uBlock and Privacy Badger)
