Yes, exactly that's the reason. To make you appear more equal to others. It is one part of how Mullvad Browser is providing you more privacy.

You can compare Mullvad Browser with your Firefox Browser. Just do a Fingerprint Test:

coveryourtracks.eff.org

Is your Firefox better? Does it hide more details about you? No.

Your Firefox is likely very unique. So your settings and extensions appear to be special; let's say you stick out of the others. Also your Screen-Size and if its a touchable screen and how much RAM your device has and so on.... Mullvad Browser makes all users look much more like the same user - users are less identifiable.

It's really more about the eOS.

It is, just like Tor Browser, based on Firefox ESR.

Don't get confused by the name. Mullvad has a proven trackrecord to not keep any data of their users. Even the payment process is anonymously. They partner with privacy and security advocates like TorProject, MalwareBytes, Mozilla ... 100% legit

eOS is privacy enhancing smartphones!

I guess that's how browser window privacy looks like. You also close the curtains a little bit - if you don't want others to see you naked while taking a shower.

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.

It's available for MacOS. I'd like to see mobile (iOS and Android) support, too.

Yes, it is faster.

I know that Mullvad Browser not interfering with IP-Addresses of its users. I know that it is not replacing Tor Browser for anonymity.

It increases your anonymity by using it instead of your default browser. And it is hugely increasing your anonymity while using it with a VPN. A VPN is probably still leaking your identity "fingerprint" if you use it with your standard webbrowser.

With Aurora store you can install all Apps, no matter of banking apps or other Android apps.

Just Spread the word. It's only helpful advice i give. I am in no way related to Mullvad or any other company. And i do not get any compensation for doing this from anyone or anywhere.

Yeah the Mullvad-VPN recently stopped port-forwarding. But this Browser is not a VPN product. Just use it without VPN or use an other VPN provider, if you want.

Interesting, but the textfile is now 9 month old and eOS brings regularly (monthly) updates! If you forward the suggestions to them it could maybe be helpful to them, you could probably file pullrequests. I think they're improving.

I am glad i could provide you a second glance. Yes, you've been wrong. It's basically Tor Browser without the Tor stuff - so based on Firefox ESR.

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.

I think that's a very good way to use Mullvad Browser: If you visit websites that you don't know, or don't want to get associated with. 👍

I had several different banking apps, in different countries.
