A VPN is not enough for privacy. But in combination with a privacy-focused browser, you make sure to block third-party cookies and other tracking technologies used by the data collectors.

That's why we partnered with the Tor Project to develop Mullvad Browser – a browser designed to minimize tracking and fingerprints.

Please also note that this information is clearly displayed on our landing page. We don't want people using our service for things it's not designed for.

In combination?

The browser piece is doing almost all of the work against ad networks, isn’t it?

Which part of defense against ad networks does a VPN contribute to?
