Mullvad Browser

Free

The product page says Mullvad Browser is open source and free of charge, with or without a Mullvad VPN subscription. No browser price was printed on 21 Oct 2026. The FAQ says Mullvad does not earn money from the browser and that VPN income pays for the company. A VPN price was not on the browser page, so this listing does not quote one. The GitHub license field was empty. The product page's open-source sentence is not a substitute SPDX identifier. Release 15.0.25 is a version, not a fee. Store download counts on the GitHub assets are counters for those files, not a price. If a later page sells a build, quote that page on its own.

The product page at mullvad.net/en/browser says Mullvad Browser was developed with the Tor Project, uses uBlock Origin to block third-party trackers, aims for similar fingerprints across users, enables private mode by default, and isolates third-party cookies. Letterboxing is the page's name for the grey bars that stop a window size from becoming a unique fingerprint. The same page says telemetry was removed, and it says the browser is free whether or not you pay for Mullvad VPN. Income, that FAQ says, comes from the VPN service. Platforms named there are Linux, macOS, and Windows. The company line is Mullvad VPN AB, Box 53049, 400 14 Gothenburg, Sweden.

• Release 15.0.25. GitHub published 15.0.25 on 14 Oct 2026. The notes update NoScript to 13.6.36.1984.
• License field was empty. The GitHub license field was null. The product page says open source and free of charge. Those stay separate.
• Not the Tor network. The product page says Mullvad Browser is a Tor Browser without the Tor network, used with or without a VPN.

1. 1

   Cite 15.0.25 from the 14 Oct 2026 GitHub release, and check the signed checksum file that release publishes.

2. 2

   Say the license field was empty. Quote the product page when you mean the open-source sentence.

3. 3

   Pair it with a VPN only when you also need the IP address masked. The page says the browser alone does not do that.

• The license is about to be filled in. On 21 Oct 2026 the GitHub license field for mullvad/mullvad-browser was empty, with 2,605 stars and 73 forks. The product page says the browser is open source and free of charge. Quote the empty field and quote the product page. Do not copy a Tor Browser license into the empty field.
• Release 15.0.25 is about to be merged with Tor Browser. GitHub published Mullvad Browser 15.0.25 on 14 Oct 2026, and the notes say NoScript 13.6.36.1984. The product page says this browser is a Tor Browser without the Tor network, for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with or without a VPN. The Tor Project's update JSON also said 15.0.25. They are two products.
• The browser is about to be briefed as a managed-attribution sandbox. Research sandboxes is the nearest category, and the fit is weak. The product page describes fingerprint resistance, uBlock Origin, private mode, and letterboxing. It does not describe an egress network that the vendor operates for an investigation. Without a VPN, the page says the IP address is not masked.
