About Mullvad Browser
Mullvad Browser is a privacy-oriented web browser built through a partnership between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It is designed to provide the advanced anti-fingerprinting and tracking protections of the Tor Browser but intended for use with a VPN or standard internet connection rather than the Tor Network. The browser's core philosophy is 'hide in the crowd,' ensuring that all users appear to have the same digital fingerprint to trackers. It comes pre-packaged with uBlock Origin and employs 'letterboxing' to mask the user's actual screen resolution. The service is entirely free of charge and open-source, aiming to complement Mullvad's existing VPN service without collecting user telemetry.
