We cover that too [0]. In addition, while I wouldn't blanket recommend a VPN usually, it's important to use a VPN in conjunction with Mullvad Browser (specifically). If you're not blending in with a crowd of similar browsers at the network level too, the fingerprinting protections are a bit pointless.
> Like Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser is designed to prevent fingerprinting by making your browser fingerprint identical to all other Mullvad Browser users, and it includes default settings and extensions that are automatically configured by the default security levels: Standard, Safer and Safest. Therefore, it is imperative that you do not modify the browser at all outside adjusting the default security levels. Other modifications would make your fingerprint unique, defeating the purpose of using this browser.
