Anybody out there using Mullvad’s browser? If so what’s your impression so far?

I’ve only just discovered it and started playing with it a bit, but was curious on this group’s opinions/experience with it.

    Its the best browser for privacy that doesn’t use tor. It has the capability of fooling naive scripts but also may have some protection against stronger fingerprinting methods since you blend in with a crowd.

    Personally I prefer arkenfox because I dislike letterboxing, want sync, want to have control over my user overrides. Disabling these things in mullvad will likely make me stand out. IMO if your threat model is that high I would just use tor and a hardened FF or brave for normal use. All individual preferences though.

        Its a modification to an official install of firefox. In firefox you can go into about:config and modify each setting individually. All arkenfox does is set everything for you with a script and you can make an overrides file to tweak their config. See here

        For people who don’t want to tweak I generally recommend librewolf. Its a forked firefox client that has quality of life features and ability to change certain settings within your browser’s settings tab. The only downside of using librewolf is updates can fall behind, which can be a security issue. Their team has been on top of updating though.
