A free privacy-focused browser `` Mullvad Browser '' has appeared, and the partnership between VPN and Tor reduces the user's `` fingerprint '' used for tracking and increases anonymity



Mullvad, a Swedish VPN service, and Tor Project, which handles the anonymous communication protocol ``Tor'', jointly announced the release of ``Mulvad Browser'' on April 3, 2023. Mullvad and the Tor Project use Mullvad Browser to make browsing more private by making it difficult to track

fingerprints that collect personal information like fingerprinting.

The following is the access to

the distribution page of 'Mulvad Browser'. There are versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as browser extensions for Firefox. In order to actually use it, this time select the Windows version and click 'Download'.



Open the downloaded 'mullvadbrowser-install-win64-12.0.4_ALL.exe'.



Click 'OK'.



Click 'Install' to start the installation.



Click Done.



When 'Mulvad Browser' is started, it looks like this. The ad blocking extension '

uBlock Origin ' is installed from the beginning.



Mullvad Browser Extension, an extension used to connect to Mullvad's VPN, is also installed. Mullvad Browser can be used without Mullvad VPN, but is recommended.



Like 'Tor Browser' there is a 'New Identity' button, which allows you to reset information such as cookies and browsing history to make it difficult to track users.



The default search engine is DuckDuckGo, a privacy-focused search engine.



The Tor Project says, 'The development goal of Mullvad Browser is to make Tor Browser's privacy protection available to users who do not use Tor.' Mullvad Browser creates the same fingerprint for all users, allowing for greater anonymity through a 'hide-in-the-crowd' approach. Also, private mode is enabled by default, which blocks third-party trackers and cookies.

In a statement, Isabella Fernandez, executive director of Tor Project, said in a statement, 'We developed this browser together with Mullvad to provide more privacy options for everyday browsing and to exploit people's behavioral data in today's world. This is to challenge the business model.We want to work together to drive change and raise awareness that 'digital rights are human rights.''
