When you visit a website, you can be identified and tracked through your IP address, third-party cookies, all types of tracking scripts and through so-called browser fingerprints. Therefore, masking your IP address is not enough to stop data collection. However, by using a reliable VPN in combination with a privacy-focused browser, you can better resist today’s mass surveillance. That’s why we partnered with the Tor Project to develop the Mullvad browser – a browser designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting.

A VPN is not enough. This is why you need a privacy-focused browser.

Big technologies, governments and data brokers can use your IP address, cookies, scripts and browser fingerprints to identify and track you online. Learn more about your unwanted followers and why you need a privacy-focused browser to stop them.

A Tor-developed browser. Running with a VPN instead of the Tor network.

Using a VPN alone is not enough to achieve perfect privacy. There is simply too much data being extracted through most browsers. So Mullvad contacted the experts in privacy-focused browsers: the Tor Project. Learn about the idea behind the collaboration.

Your browser itself can be a privacy issue. Things you should look for when choosing a browser.

Some browsers are designed to track your internet behavior. That’s their business model. Others simply do not have enough privacy. These are the questions you should ask yourself (or better yet, your browser provider) before choosing a browser.

Your browser can be used to uniquely identify you. Get to know your browser’s fingerprint.

When you visit a website, most browsers provide information about your software and device. Combining this information with other browser data makes it possible to create a user profile that can identify you.

No telemetry.

Telemetry is unique data collected by the browser to improve performance. We do not believe in collecting data about our users. So with the Mullvad browser we’ve removed all telemetry.

Private browsing as standard.

The Mullvad browser has private mode enabled by default. This means that no cookies, cache and history are saved between your sessions. The browser also includes a reset button that creates a clean session with one click.

Blocking third-party trackers with uBlock Origin.

Even with strong protection against fingerprints and cookies, it’s a good idea to block third-party trackers. You don’t want to use “too many” extensions as that may be the only thing that identifies you. That’s why we only use uBlock Origin.

Transparent business model.

We have no intention of making money from the Mullvad browser. Our business model is to make money from our VPN service. Our sole ambition with Mullvad Browser is to provide the best possible privacy-focused browser to Mullvad VPN users – and to everyone else, for that matter.

Privacy first.

Mullvad VPN has proven experience in putting privacy first. Without strange business models or short-term venture capitalists. The Tor project is a non-profit organization that fights for human rights. We will always put privacy first in everything we do.
