Installed and played around with it. Basically, a Mullvad version of the Tor browser with uBlock Origin. Looks polished and well coded.

Problem is it doesn't play well with H_C or SRP. Even launch with admin rights is blocked. So, I'm not sure if I'll keep it, interesting project though.

Mullvad browser do remove some Firefox telemetry, but not as thorough as in LibreWolf browser. So, LibreWolf is still better in terms of de-Mozilla

As much as we want to improve the state of browser privacy, this looks out of scope for a webextension. To make this happen, we would need to expose all these settings to the webextension API. Thro...

Is Mullvad browser meaningful for people who don't use Mullvad VPN? I don't see advantages over Tor browser. Without using Tor network it can't reach Tor browsers anonymity. Concerning anti fingerprinting it doesn't add something. For anti fingerprinting both browsers use the build-in NoScript add-on. Only in the browser-setting Safest you get the result 'Protecting you from fingerprinting? Yes' on coveryourtracks.eff.org. It means that javascript is disabled, so many sites will be broken. In my eyes it's not a workable solution. In the settings Standard and Safer the fingerprint is 'nearly unique'. I think Brave does a better job with its randomized fingerprint (and doesn't need an add-on).

I don't mean pure TOR, but the proxies that are built into that browser.

Also, you have to contact Mullvad and get them to confirm whether or not Mullvad Browser is fully capable of working simultaneously with VPN through TOR.

Lots of the Firefox internals are ripped-out by Mullvad, hobbling or removing a multitude of features. Mullvad Browser is a very bare-bones browser via "attack surface reduction" and "least functionality."

Is it normal if I can't connect TOR in this browser when using a VPN?

I don't know much about Tor connectivity.
If you want a solution that includes Tor connectivity without interfering with websites and connections, this could be a good option.
Don't argue with me about the program's price.

The last time I tried Mullvad Browser (about a year ago) it would not load in full screen mode. From my understanding in a Google AI search that's because it's not fingerprinting your device, to find out your screen resolution.

Is that still the case, or was there something else going on with my end?

I recall trying MB last year, I had the same user experience, but there are settings related to Fingerprint... if that was disabled, MB started in full screen like other browsers.
