The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in collaboration with Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It aims to eliminate data collection and provide user-centric browsing services, ensuring online activity remains private and secure. The browser has the same fingerprinting protection as the Tor Browser, but connects to the internet without Tor Network or VPN instead. The Mullvad Browser provides anti-fingerprinting protections.
The idea is to provide one more alternative – beside the Tor Network – to browse the internet with more privacy. To get as many people as possible to fight the big data gathering of today. To free the internet from mass surveillance.

First question I had was what it was based on. Based on the FAQ answer of default outgoing connections, it would seem to be Firefox (has two connections to Mozilla for script and domain updates).
It is, just like Tor Browser, based on Firefox ESR.
You got me interested about this browser ! When I first saw the news I assumed it would just be another chromium based privacy browser, i did not even bother looking into it
I was wrong?
It is basically tor browser without the tor network, but with all the privacy features that one would find in tor browser
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.
