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.

in which way is better than firefox with adblocker and anti fingerprinting? honest question
You can compare Mullvad Browser with your Firefox Browser. Just do a Fingerprint Test:
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.
I keep Mullvad as my backup browser. It’s now the one I go to for any one-off link that I don’t want associated with my primary browser (Safari) or the one that I use as real-backup to check if a page isn’t working because of my various privacy extensions (Firefox). It’s primarily used to watch videos on the old site about once per week, as that’s the only part of Lemmy that’s still missing for me. Which is good, cause I blew way to much time on those videos.
I think that’s a very good way to use Mullvad Browser: If you visit websites that you don’t know, or don’t want to get associated with. 👍
Mullvad - this 👍. But also Mullvad, blocking port forwarding 😒.
Yeah the Mullvad-VPN recently stopped port-forwarding. But this Browser is not a VPN product. Just use it without VPN or use an other VPN provider, if you want.
Yes. Almost wonder if it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant since many of us are jumping ship.
On that note, does anyone know a good VPN with port forwarding for torrenting?
AirVPN
Thanks. Can you explain why you like this one?
They clearly say on their Website that they don’t care about you torrenting on their service, they are probably the last privacy-respecting VPN that still allows port-forwarding, you can pay with Monero, the entire company is run by privacy-activists, they stand values like net-neutrality and fight against censorship. They also donate to organizations like the Tor Project, Mastodon, PeerTube, OpenNIC, OpenBSD, the EFF and Riseup.
Sounds interesting. Might try them thank you.
Just don’t let the horrible user interface scare you. The service is really awesome though.
