Logs you out of 3rd party VPN add-ons, but otherwise top tier browser. It resets you identity and browsing history every time you exit.

Right behind Tor on the privacy side of things.

Although based on firefox, it has very few users so you are unlikely to get support or help if you need it.

Mullvad Browser is definitely a good browser for privacy. However one of the default addons is only usable if you already pay for their vpn.

I'm not a particular fan of Mozilla/Firefox systems, but out of the lot, I will guess this is the best. Performs well. Easy option to reset session/identity.

Is a fantastic browser that comes with an integrated VPN service. I've been using it for a while now and I must say, it's been a game-changer. The VPN feature in is top-notch and provides a reliable and secure browsing experience. I'm particularly impressed with the ease of use - navigating through the browser is seamless, and enabling the VPN is a straightforward process. The browsing speed is exceptional, and I haven't encountered any significant issues so far. Has become my go-to choice when I want a VPN-enabled browser.

There is no cloud synchronization of bookmarks and personal data. A minimalist Firefox version.

It is the easiest option to protect against fingerprinting other than Tor Browser. It is also more usable. It's like using a private version of Firefox.

What is Mullvad Browser?

The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in a collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It’s designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting. You could say it’s a Tor Browser to use without the Tor Network. Instead, you can use it with a trustworthy VPN. 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.

Privacy quality of the Tor Browser. To use with a VPN.

Using a VPN is not enough to achieve perfect privacy online. There’s simply too much data being extracted through most browsers. The Mullvad Browser is a web browser with the privacy quality of the Tor Browser, to be used with a trustworthy VPN.

Strong anti-fingerprinting from the Tor Project

The Tor Project has a proven track record of building a privacy-focused browser. The Mullvad Browser has the same fingerprinting protection as the Tor Browser – it just connects to the internet with (or without) a VPN instead of the Tor Network.

Similar fingerprint for all users

Fingerprinting is an increasing threat against online privacy. The Mullvad Browser is, just like the Tor Browser, developed with the purpose and ambition for all its users to appear as one.

No telemetry

Telemetry is unique data being collected by the browser to improve its performance. We don’t believe in collecting data about our users. So, with the Mullvad Browser we have removed all telemetry.

Private browsing by default

The Mullvad Browser has private mode enabled by default. This means no cookies, cache and history are saved between your sessions. The browser also includes a reset button that creates a clean session in one click.

Blocking third-party trackers with uBlock Origin

Even with strong protection against fingerprinting and cookies, it’s a good idea to block third-party trackers. You don’t want to use ‘too many’ extensions as it could be the one thing that identifies you. That’s why we only use uBlock Origin.

Transparent business model

We have no intention in earning money from the Mullvad Browser. Our business model is to earn money from our VPN service. Our only ambition with the Mullvad Browser is to provide the best privacy-focused browser possible to Mullvad’s VPN users – and to everyone else, for that matter.

Privacy first

Mullvad VPN has a proven record of putting privacy first. With no strange business models or short-term venture capitalist owners. The Tor Project is a non-profit organization fighting for human rights. We will always put privacy first, in everything we do.
