Oh dear, you are right. Last commit was in January. Thorium was comatose for awhile but come back, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
"The account number is the only thing you need to connect to Mullvad VPN. We ask for no email, no phone number, no personal information whatsoever." yeah, also they get my bank card info, I become easily trackable if need arises

Firefox runs like cold molassas on Android, unfortunately. Bromite seems like its sticking around, fortunately.

I do not like Brave's business model (replacing web ads with their own, even setting the crypto thing aside), but I will check out your link if Bromite fizzles out.

It should be possible to make exceptions for sites you trust IMO.
It is. You open those sites in Firefox.
Being able to easily reopen a tab in a different "identity" is also a pretty neat feature.
So ... it is a fork of Mozilla Firefox with privacy-friendly settings by default, some script blocking, and dns lookups done via Mullvads encrypted dns service Sounds ok to me, I have a longish and probably out of date list of settings that I like to chance in a new instance of firefox. I trust mullvad to not log dns more than I trust my ISP and I live in the UK so unencrypted dns here is being logged and stored by o…

a few years ago I moved outside the UK and spent the best part of 3 months (on and off) trying to access BBC content, legally, still holding residency, paying domiciliary and employment taxes, and paying for a bladdy TV loicence of course, I wanted to do this for as close to free as possible, since plugging an aerial into a tv at home also cost next to nothing VPNs were already being detected and banned. I tried at l…
I used a small independent proxy company that I paid £50 a year annually through PayPal. I think they must've been small enough to fly under the radar of the detection algorithms. When I went onto google maps connected to the proxy, it always thought I was in Dubai, which gives you an idea of the clientele. Maybe it was something to do with the fact that it was a Proxy and not a VPN, though I'm not sure if this makes…
It’s pretty silly though, I would absolutely pay for a TV license if given the opportunity. Dear BBC: Shut up and take my money!

How is propping up Firefox's market share and slowing down their own development the right thing to do as a business? If Firefox wants to have a competitive market share they should actively compete instead of begging people to increase their market share.
I love how the 'right thing to do' is not the same as the 'right thing to do as a business.' One is actually the right thing to do. The other is how to make more money faster and quicker.
I guess why not. This is an open source, rebranded Firefox and Firefox-like browsers could use some publicity. It promotes privacy and privacy can use some publicity too. Tor too. Mullvad seems to be honest in the fact that their business model is selling VPNs and it's nice they are saying it's not enough. They are not saying that you might not need one though. We need a Firefox with good defaults and it seems like t…
Update: "In permanent private browsing mode, cookies and site data will always be cleared when Mullvad Browser is closed." It has this setting ON by default.
