Do I correctly understand that it does not have a mechanism by which to connect to Mullvad, much less mandate it? The only thing I see is the ability to manually detect externally-initiated VPN status. This seems like a key and significant departure from Tor Browser to me in terms of protection.
No. It comes with their extension with contents to the VPN via socks5.

I share a VPN subscription with my father, I use it for torrenting so my ISP can't snoop on me, and he uses it to bypass geo blocking to watch UK shows (things like BritBox, Netflix, BBC etc.) in another country. Unfortunately, there is no way to legally pay for most of these services and watch them from abroad. I tried to get us to use Mullvad, as it was perfect for me, but for him it was constant problems with the…
It annoys me that the only way to access iPlayer from abroad is via a VPN. Surely opening it up and allowing international customers to pay some form of license fee could be a nice little revenue stream for the BBC? I'm guessing the reason is just "licensing issues" but if they're making the programmes then what's the problem? I'm sure there's an international market for watching the world class output from the BBC.
I am disappointed to see that it doesn't integrate with Mullvad VPN at all. I have Mullvad VPN but I use it too less because I don't want all traffic on my mac going via VPN (e.g all kinds of random IDEs and websites). All I want is one browser which always uses VPN. But Mullvad has no split tunneling on mac AFAIK, and on windows also you can only block some apps from VPN, instead of saying that only this application…

so someone being against gay marriage is not a homophobe in your eyes? Why can't Obama just also be/have been a homophobe
One can have a principled opposition to gay marriage without being a homophobe. Declaring someone else is a homophobe without their making such an assertion is mindreading.
As a DuckDuckGo fan as well, I'd have loved to see them/DuckDuckGo develop their browser on the top of Firefox with Mullvad as a partner with deep integrations.
Checking with https://www.amiunique.org/ resulted in a unique fingerprint for me. The "Canvas" and "Media devices" attributes are unique on their own. I had not expected this.
Finally something that beats... https://fingerprint.com/demo/
I assume Mullvad browsers has this on by default.

Some people just want everything, no compromises.
But isn't this what Firefox containers achieve? My understanding is that cookies etc aren't shared between containers, so I can stay logged in, and not be tracked across websites. If it's achievable, why compromise?
