Do they mention any Tor VPN combo on their site?
Another effective strategy is to use more than one browser. For example, you might rely on Mullvad or Firefox (with appropriate security settings) for everyday browsing and switch to Tor for more sensitive activities. Splitting your browsing this way reduces the amount of data any single browser reveals, giving most users a reasonable balance between privacy and usability.
While we’re handing out minor suggestions, I love this advice, but the specific example you give is a little bit impractical. When I advocate for a dual browser approach I like to point people in a direction more like:
| Browser 1 (set as OS Default) | Browser 2 |
|---|---|
| For any browsing you do on the web without authentication (doing searches, reading articles, etc.) | For websites you trust enough to have an account with, or otherwise interact with often (banking, social media) |
| Mullvad Browser (or Tor) | Brave (or Firefox) |
I think it is easier for people to conceptualize when they should use each browser in this scenario, compared to needing to judge whether a particular activity is “sensitive” enough to warrant switching.
I also do not think a Mullvad Browser + Tor Browser dual-browser approach you present as an option makes a ton of sense, since the browsers have identical approaches/goals with respect to privacy, just different underlying networks. I’d probably just present Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser as basically the same in this context, and maybe you can do a future article on Tor vs. VPNs ![]()
