Mullvad Browser is a free privacy-focused web browser that aims to provide users with a secure and private browsing experience by directly infusing security-focused add-ons in cooperation with Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project.

This all-in-one solution allows users of all ages and knowledge levels to drastically reinforce their online security and prevent their private data from being tracked and collected by large corporations, ad monitoring services, and malicious online destinations.

To best serve the needs of all its users, this chromium-based browser platform comes with preinstalled security features that not only dramatically reduce the online fingerprint of each of its user but also allows faster and more streamlined browsing on websites where trackers and ads are prevented to be loaded.

And all of that and much more is done without any built-in tracking and telemetry features that are often a crucial part of all popular internet browser apps.

Features

Privacy Protection – Prevent websites from tracking browsing history or collecting personal data.

Ad Blocking – Block ads and trackers for a cleaner and faster browsing experience.

VPN Integration – Built-in support for enhancing privacy and security by routing all traffic via encrypted VPN servers.

Prevent cross-site tracking – Automatically isolate tabs one from another to prevent cross-site data tracking.

Secure Connection – Full focus on HTTPS Everywhere ensures always-active secure connection.

How to Use

To get this app up and running on any modern Windows PC, users are only required to download and install an automated installer downloaded from a secure source such as the official website or internal FileHorse servers.

After the app is deployed, users can simply run it and access a standard-looking web browser dashboard that promotes fast and secure access to all internet content.

User Interface

The user interface is clean and minimalist, with a focus on privacy and security.

Many of its security features come fully activated, but some add-ons such as VPN can be activated by user request by simply locating the VPN icon near the main address field. The browser add-on taskbar is also home to the uBlock Origin, the world’s most capable third-party tracker blocker. Users can activate its drop-down dashboard by simply clicking on its icon, accessing a small configuration screen for whitelisting, and other tools useful for monitoring and customizing the look of the webpage elements.
