alt Hacker NewsWhat threat model should you use Mullvad browser in? What threat model should you avoid Firefox-based browsers?
Please talk in terms of specific threats instead of fearmongering. For people wanting to avoid surveillance capitalism, which is a very common threat, I think Mullvad Browser is a fantastic choice.
For journalists targetted by nation states, perhaps it would be better to use Brave or Chrome inside of Qubes.

Curious why Chrome/Brave is recommended? I don't think any modern browser is better for anti-fingerprinting like the Firefox-based ones, including TOR and Mullvad Browser? Don't install random extensions outside the defaults and you're doing a lot better than a Brave/Chrome install if you want a usable internet.
Well with qubes your security comes from VM isolation, so wouldn't that make using a gecko browser safer? If a browser exploit gets through the browser its stuck in a disposable VM with nothing else on it. Also the mullvad client is on another proxy netVM
