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.

Default Firefox settings with uBlock Origin results in everything passing except the unique fingerprint, and hardening Firefox to do that is easy enough with something like Privacy Badger, some fingerprint anonymization extensions or just disabling JavaScript. From my experience, though, doing that will make the web nigh-unusable for the average user with sites regularly breaking or constantly spamming you with Captchas wherever you go.
I'm curious how "usable" Mullvade Browser is for the everyday user, compared to Firefox with uBlock Origin.
Edit: Fixed typo
You can get Mulvad as a Firefox extension FYI. I was just on the page.
What's interesting is that on mobile Firefox passes less of those checks than DuckDuckgo
Weirdly enough I got better results with Bromite instead of Fennec and Mull (even when they're running uBlock and Privacy Badger)
