Mullvad Browser (no TOR, no VPN) (monero.town)

The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in collaboration with Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It aims to eliminate data collection and provide user-centric browsing services, ensuring online activity remains private and secure. The browser has the same fingerprinting protection as the Tor Browser, but connects to the internet without Tor Network or VPN instead. The Mullvad Browser provides anti-fingerprinting protections.

The idea is to provide one more alternative – beside the Tor Network – to browse the internet with more privacy. To get as many people as possible to fight the big data gathering of today. To free the internet from mass surveillance.

Is the other Browser better?

You will have less privacy due to fingerprinting and Mullvad-Browser has the advanced configurations that are in use for many years by TorProject. I never used LibreWolf but they described it as 'custom version of Firefox'. They integrated uBlockOrigin extension and if you add further extensions it will make you stand out.
