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.

What core is it based on/forked from? Is it Firefox like TorBrowser?

And what does Mullvad get out of it? Just name recognition?

github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser Firefox ESR - it's basically Tor Browser without Tor. Mullvad gets name recognition 100%

There is a FAQ about the Mullvad browser on the Tor Project's website, which gives a few more details.
