We've Teamed Up With Mullvad VPN to Launch the Mullvad Browser | Tor Project - monero.town

Today we announced the launch of the Mullvad Browser, a browser built by the Tor Project team and distributed by Mullvad.

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.

    If you think this is a good Browser, keep in mind:

    • this is a fork of Firefox with slower updates
    • its simply hardened Firefox desktop. Mobile needs a seperate app, but for Desktop all you need is a user.js
    • its not isolated from the system it has a Flatpak, which is good. But check its default permissions
    • I think it doesnt use a fake Download, Desktop etc. path

    Tor Browser Launcher Flatpak is the most secure Browser afaik.

    For Firefox hardening, I made “Arkenfox softening”

    Its an approach to download Arkenfox, change it to be usable as a normal browser without leaking more data in any way and automating that process.

    Its best to use upstream Firefox, best as Flatpak (prove me wrong) and harden it using this well tested preset.

    Its just a little crazy, thats why I read all of it and just change some settings, not reinvent the wheel

      Mullvad Browser is Tor Browser without Tor. TorBrowser evolved over many years, with a very long track record and is recommended uncountable times all over the world. So, if you want the TorBrowser without all the Tor stuff: here is it.

      FlatPak is not the as secure as everyone think it is.

      The benefit of using a seperate app instead of custom configured hardening is that (1) your hardening auto updates and (2) you’re less prone to fingerprinting. Also it’s easier.

        True. Thats why I currently use Librewolf. Not sure if my arkenfox script still works.

        But Librewolf has some weird breakages, like Videocalls simply not working lol. Until I need that, I stick with it.
