so after reading some other posts i’ve decided to give Mullvad browser a go
searched on how to install it on EOS , but can’t seem to find a clear answer.
so is there a straightforward way to install it ?
seems like there’s a VPN thing involved too ?
I don’t install it. I download it from Mullvad site, extract the file in some directory and execute the binary. It will alert you for updates and you can do it from the browser.
thanks , but that’s not straightforward for me lol
is there 1 command to just install it like any other browser ?

hmmm k …played with the browser for awhile
it seems slower than brave
i cannot find an option to add a home button to toolbar
it doesn’t play netflix , and i see no setting to enable DRM content
i see no autofill/passwords in settings
and upon looking further i see brave has a lot more options/settings
so , think i’ll stick with brave 
Mullvad is basically TOR without the the TOR network. It is not suitable for all use cases.

It’s built on Firefox 128 ESR. You add home button to the toolbar the same way you do with Firefox.
ok thanks
not working for me
at least i tried and learned something new , it’s all fun
uninstalled
ah , opened my FF now to see ( i never use FF) , don’t see an obvious setting to add home to toolbar there either lol
PS: i said earlier Mullvad settings look alike to Brave settings , but i was mistaken , it looks like FF settings more .
anywayyy…
chucks i didn’t see that
as i said i don’t use FF so not so familiar with it
but now i know
to be fair , brave is a bit overwhelming at 1st with all the settings , but i took my time and now it’s the best for me
meaning i didn’t give FF (or mullvad) the same time/effort
Mullvad is not meant to be an everyday browser. It’s for security and privacy. DRM will never work in Mullvad.
Here’s more:
Mullvad Browser, designed for privacy, does not support DRM content and is not intended for full-featured general-purpose web browsing. It prioritizes anonymity and security by disabling features like sync and Encrypted Media Extensions (EME).
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Focus on Privacy:
The Mullvad Browser is built with privacy as its core principle, aiming to minimize tracking and digital fingerprinting.
No DRM Support:
To achieve this, the browser disables features like Encrypted Media Extensions (EME), which are necessary for playing DRM-protected content.
Default Private Mode:
Mullvad Browser defaults to private browsing mode, meaning no cookies, cache, or history are saved between sessions.
Anti-Fingerprinting:
The browser takes steps to obfuscate information that could be used to identify a user, such as screen dimensions, available fonts, and web APIs.
Not a General Purpose Browser:
While the browser can be used for general browsing, it is not designed to be a full-featured general-purpose browser, as it lacks features like DRM support.
Recommended Use:
Mullvad Browser is recommended for users who prioritize strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting.
Open Source:
The Mullvad Browser is free and open-source software.

You’re doing it the good old fashioned windows way 
Good times. But after getting used to the way linux just handles updating everything for you whenever you want, I don’t miss it.
Yes, those were the days
