Mullvad Browser is the Tor Browser with the Tor network taken out, built by Mullvad together with the Tor Project. It makes every user look identical, which stops trackers singling you out. You bring your own connection through a VPN instead of Tor. It is open source and built around anti-fingerprinting. Because it does not route through Tor, on its own it hides nothing about your IP. The uniform fingerprint can also break some sites. Paired with a VPN you trust, it is one of the most hardened browsers around.
