The Mullvad Browser

• user.js

  682 9,104 7.1 JavaScript

  Firefox privacy, security and anti-tracking: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening

  

Fun fact: I use a custom Firefox config that tweaks and disables lots of features, based on this template: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js .

Thing is: this makes you extremely easy to identify, because it gives your browser a very unique fingerprint. Iff JS is enabled, that is, which you can disable by default, but JS is simply a requirement for many websites to function.

I wonder how they approached this problem this for the Mullvad Browser.

"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 don't think we need an umpteenth discussion about this here, it has already been discussed to hell. This is getting old. Just search Brendan Each on HN [1], this discussion is happens any time he is mentioned here.

Or just read the summary on Wikipedia [2].
