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.

Is it any faster than tor?

[–] Wave@monero.town 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is faster.

Man, if it's slower, good luck with adoption.

When I used TOR I just assumed it was slow because my laptop will be old enough to legally gamble in a couple years...

[–] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Well that means it's old enough to do some other things already - just make sure you get consent.

I hope you know the concept of Tor and why it can appear to be slow: Tor is routing the internet-connection through multiple instances of the TorNetwork to hide your actual physical location. That's strong anonymity technique and Tor users usually do not worry about if it's slower.
