There are other well-regarded privacy browsers, like Brave, and they can also be used with a VPN or even have built-in VPN capabilities. And Mullvad has been a longtime financial supporter of the Tor Project, which is a nonprofit. The Tor Project and Mullvad both said of each other that they were attracted to the collaboration by the other's record on human rights and digital privacy initiatives. The collaboration is all about providing more privacy alternatives for people.” “We wanted to offer a privacy-focused browser as good as the Tor Browser but for those who want to connect to the internet through a VPN instead of the Tor Network.
“Mullvad’s mission is to make mass surveillance impractical, and a VPN alone is not enough for achieving online privacy-you also need a privacy-focused web browser,” says Mullvad CEO Jan Jonsson. Depending on your use case and circumstances, though, they can be a valuable tool. As a result, VPNs have a complicated reputation, because they are only as private as the VPN provider is trustworthy. VPNs, in contrast, don't take such great pains to anonymize your traffic and instead focus on offering privacy protections by creating a system in which only you and the VPN provider can see your web activity. Both the Tor Network and virtual private networks encrypt your web traffic and tunnel it through an intermediary, but Tor is focused on the anonymity that comes from a specific scheme of sending your traffic through a series of “hops” or special servers.
