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.

It’s also worth to mention that you don’t need a Mullvad account in order to use their Browser.
I am new to privacy. I am confused about which browsers are Chromium based.
Is Mullvad chromium based browser?
Quick answer: no, it’s based on tor which is based on firefox
I hope someone forks this and creates an i2p browser, similar to the Tor browser.
Should I be interested in this if I already use hardened Firefox?
Yes. Compare your Firefox and mullvad browser on fingerprint.com
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 systemit 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
FlatPak is not the as secure as everyone think it is.
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.
