The Tor network, although often associated with illegal activities on the dark web, is legal in most countries and is also used to access regular websites without being tracked. The new Mullvad browser is aimed at users who want a privacy-focused browser that offers the same degree of anonymity as the Tor network but with a VPN instead.
“Developing this browser with Mullvad is about providing people with more free privacy options for web browsing while challenging the all-too-prevalent business model of exploiting people’s data. This partnership demonstrates that it is possible to develop free technology solutions that prioritize the protection of user privacy,” said Isabela Fernandes, Executive Director, Tor Project.
