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.

    I know that Mullvad Browser not interfering with IP-Addresses of its users. I know that it is not replacing Tor Browser for anonymity.

    It increases your anonymity by using it instead of your default browser. And it is hugely increasing your anonymity while using it with a VPN. A VPN is probably still leaking your identity “fingerprint” if you use it with your standard webbrowser.

      I was also, initially, a little bit confused with how this was being framed. I understand now having read it more closely, but on first reading of the line “The idea is to provide one more alternative – beside the Tor Network – to browse the internet with more privacy” because of the word “alternative” I thought you were suggesting it as a replacement for Tor.

        Thank you for pointing this out! I did not read it like that - probably because the concept is already in my mind. It could be some kind of alternative to Tor in combination with other technologies like i2p or Proxy or VPN. The Mullvad webpage also is strongly recommending to use VPN in combination with the Mullvad Browser.

        Just see it from the other perspective: Many think that they are anonymously surfing the Web with their standard-webbrowser. But that’s not the case - you have to use proper sanity if you want to surf anonymously. And that’s why it’s good to use Mullvad Browser.
