Checking out Mullvad Browser: https://mullvad.net/en/browser

Very good browser for privacy. It's basically Tor Browser but w/out Tor. You can control your Mullvad VPN from its extension or use it with any other VPN.

One personal tweak: I've disabled favicons in about:config by toggling the browser.chrome.site_icons preference. Favicons can be utilised for tracking.

Thoughts vs Brave?

I'm not a big Brave user but I can say that Mullvad Browser is more private than Brave overall because no data is collected at all by Mullvad, Mozilla, or Tor Project. Brave does collect some data, although it is 'anonymised'. Also, Brave can be used as a wallet, it can sync, and it can connect to Google's Safe Browsing service - These can all be used to track you and a certain degree of tracking is required by those services to function correctly. As usual, it's a trade-off between features and privacy. It's also worth noting that Brave is a Chromium-based browser, so if you want the Chromium experience (a little faster and a little smoother) then it's a better browser than any Firefox forks. But if you want the Tor/Firefox experience (perhaps for more privacy but a little slower and not as pretty) then Mullvad is the second best Firefox-based browser for privacy, in my humble opinion. Unfortunately, Mullvad Browser isn't available for mobile yet though.

Have you tried https://www.impervious.ai/ ?

I haven't tried that yet. Thanks for the link. I shall investigate 🔎

This is so great

It is. I'm so happy they've done this.

Whoa! I didn’t know mullvad had a browser. Very cool, thanks for sharing.

You're welcome 😁

Let me give it a try! Been using Brave browser for a while now.

Very cool. Will check it out

Nice 👍

Wow looks great 👀

trying, would be nice if there’s LN choice

Unfortunately the gpg signing key differs from the Mullvad keys. Signing key I got is E53D989A9E2D47BF. As long as this is not clarified I won't install.

Hi. Mullvad support have confirmed that the GPG sig on the Mullvad Browser download page has not been updated correctly. This has been reported internally and will be changed.

👍

They added signature verification for the Browser on their website. Now everything is fine. Thanks for helping to sort this out.
