      Omg no. That is “Mullvad Browser” which is a version of Torbrowser with a preinstalled extension and no Tor. Basically an ad project for MullvadVPN, because Librewolf already exists.

      Mull is Firefox Mobile + Arkenfox user.js, made by DivestOS developers.

        Mullvad is distributed and funded by Mullvad VPN but it was made entirely by the folks at Tor project. It’s by no means “just an ad for a VPN”. It’s the best anti-fingerprinting browser you can use to browse without connecting to the Tor network. Anti-fingerprinting is very hard hard business. There are a lot of academic research around it that needs perfect implementation. You can tell how much we need that from Google blocking 3rd party cookies in Chrome. It means they figured out a way to track users reliably without the use of cookies and they want to drawn out the competition.

          Yes for sure, Mullvad Browser is fine. It is Torbrowser without Tor, I think that makes no sense so I would just use Librewolf with Mullvad VPN systemwide

      I use mull on my phone but I can’t find it in arch, that would be nice. Do you have a link?
