I was also, initially, a little bit confused with how this was being framed. I understand now having read it more closely, but on first reading of the line "The idea is to provide one more alternative – beside the Tor Network – to browse the internet with more privacy" because of the word "alternative" I thought you were suggesting it as a replacement for Tor.
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.
