Newb: I set secure DNS to Mullvad DNS. Since I can't afford a VPN, I do my web searches on Tor browser.

More context please. Where did you set the DNS? Smartphone, desktop? In browser or on system settings?

Assuming the following: You set the general DNS on your AOSP based smartphone to Mullvad and use Tor bowser simultaneously.

This is perfectly fine as Tor browser uses its own DNS. They won't interfere.
