  • 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.


  • You can compare Mullvad Browser with your Firefox Browser. Just do a Fingerprint Test:

    coveryourtracks.eff.org

    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 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.
