Mullvad Browser

Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused desktop browser developed by Mullvad with the Tor Project, designed to give the anti-fingerprinting protections of Tor Browser without routing through the Tor network. It is intended to be paired with a trusted VPN such as Mullvad VPN. Available free of charge on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with no account, no telemetry, and a Firefox-based engine.

Off the VPN, the browser sends its DNS lookups over DNS over HTTPS. Mullvad closes its own public DNS service on 2 November 2026 and moves users on the default setting to Quad9, which it now sponsors. Quad9 stops serving users in France on 24 November 2026, so readers there will need to choose a different resolver in the browser’s settings.

Mullvad VPN AB is registered in Sweden under organisationsnummer 559238-4001 at Engelbrektsgatan 28 in Gothenburg. It sits under the parent Amagicom AB, a name built from ama-gi — the oldest written word for freedom — and an abbreviation of communication, and both companies are wholly owned by founders Fredrik Strömberg and Daniel Berntsson, who still work in the business. There is no outside investor. Swedish accounts are public, and the filing for the year to December 2025 shows SEK 381 million of revenue, SEK 62 million of profit after net financial items and 53 employees.

The VPN launched in March 2009. Mullvad now also ships the Mullvad Browser, built with the Tor Project and released in April 2023, which gives Tor Browser’s fingerprinting defences without routing over the Tor network, and Leta, a search front-end released two months later. DAITA, its defence against AI-guided traffic analysis, arrived in May 2024, and quantum-resistant WireGuard became the default on every platform in February 2025. Mozilla, Malwarebytes and Tailscale have all resold or used its server network.

The account model is the product. You get a randomly generated account number with no email address and no name, and you pay month by month — card, bank transfer, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Lightning, Monero, or cash sent through the post. Recurring subscriptions were dropped in 2022 specifically to hold less data, and the migration to RAM-only servers completed in September 2023. Independent audits have covered the apps, the infrastructure, the Android build and the website, most recently by NCC Group in March 2025, and Android builds are reproducible. The network runs about 566 servers in 50 countries, and the public server list names the hosting provider for each machine and marks whether Mullvad owns or rents it.
