It’s pretty bland, but it’s meant to be. It’s main function is to be the second most fingerprint resistant and private browser. It’s second is the ability to use Mullvad VPN tunnels per tab or domain. Besides that, it is not recommended that you use it for logging in to sites or for personalized use cases. If you add extensions like a password manager for said logging in, you fingerprint yourself. Honestly, I’m going to be blunt, I think it is great for light scrolling and some media consumption, but I don’t see its use case. It is faster than Tor and so if you find it filling a need where you might not need Tor, great! Otherwise, I don’t really see its appeal. If I really want to blend in, I’ll use Tor, and otherwise I enjoy having my browser customized to my needs. Floorp is my daily driver, and I know I’m super fingerprintable using it. I just don’t care for the things I’m looking up and the fact that I have ad blockers and other privacy features set up. Mullvad doesn’t have vertical tabs, it is lacking web apps, it doesn’t include much customization, and its settings are really sparse. You can of course go to about::config and change whatever you want (as long as the browser has it, so not vertical tabs), but then you defeat the purpose of them having limited options: to hide your fingerprint a little less than Tor but much more than other browsers All this to say, it’s a good browser and I am sure there are others who have found much more use out of it than I have, but it’s not the browser for me.
