Tbh this Browser is totally useless. It has all the antifeatures of Torbrowser but without that total anonymity. Just use Librewolf, its so much better.
Explanation: “always on private mode” is fingerprintable, but if you want to have a normal browser that actually saves stuff, you need to turn it off. This is useless, as they could just preset the switches to delete everything. Changing one of these switches would not be fingerprintable
You necroed a 5-month-old thread to say you don’t like the browser?
Anyway, visit fingerprint.com using your favorite browser, and then visit using mullvad browser. Create new sessions and repeat the experiment.
Mullvad out of the box is the only browser that defeats fingerprint.com other than Torbrowser. Mullvad plus any VPN not just mullvad VPN is an excellent choice for people who want to minimize their online footprint.
Mullvad browser is configured the way it is so that it minimizes the data that’s is stored on the hard drive, once data is written to disk it’s hard to ensure it’s deleted. If you want a different experience, you want to persist data, then a different browser is better. But if you want to minimize your digital footprint mullvad browser is the gold standard right now
This is a valid point and if it is true that “always private” doesnt save data to disk this may be useful for certain threat models. But that would mean that your Disk is unencrypted, or decrypted, both are basically worst case scenarios.
But you could still set that switch manually I suppose.
Local data storage doesnt affect fingerprinting at all.

This community is pretty inactive so yeah.
