I was reading around about private browsers and I came across mullvad’s browser (only know them for the VPN), do you have experience using it? does it do anything different? I currently use librewolf and from what I can see the mullvad browser also is build from firefox. I generally prefer firefox-like browsers to chromium since i like way its set up and what it allows me to do. Its supposedly build by the same guys who made the tor browser (tbh i feel like thats just marketing). From their website it says its tor without tor but instead with a VPN. So technically I can accomplish the same thing with librewolf and a VPN?? Does the mullvad browser do anything new/different? One thing they do mention is browser fingerprinting does it do anything special to combat that? if i switch to mullvad instead but still have the same extensions is it more private?
AFAIK it does three hops like Tor Browser, but they are within a Mullvad owned network instead. Not “the Tor network”. They got pretty good ratings for plenty private browser parameters, at least last year. Myself and others I know have it at least on the side for some more private browsing. It can still give you issues with many sites as well as banks TBH. Together with their VPN it makes a good solution if you are not a complete paranoid. It is good to have Mullvad as a second option, and have perhaps a hardened Firefox for your eponymous browsing.
Yep
