The Mullvad Browser

The last time I tried the Tor browser, it did not sufficiently handle browser finger prints. I don't have high expectations out of this project either, but at least they offer a firefox extension. I'd have to dig into it to determine how effective it is, but as it stands there are other firefox extensions that already do an excellent job.

"The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in a collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It’s designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting. You could say it’s a Tor Browser to use without the Tor Network."

So basically like... hardened Firefox?

I couldn't quite se it in the article -

Is it based on Chromium or Firefox?

If it's Firefox, that'll be a great win!

Edit: Use Player6225 mentions it could be a hardened Firefox because it's based on the Tor browser
