    I don’t know how direct quotes from the aforementioned religion’s books and the books themselves, supposedly written by their Gods, would be “misinterpretation” or “misrepresentation”. And although my knowledge is limited in the case of Buddhism, at least AFAIK the religion essentially focuses on accepting one’s suffering and ending it by losing one’s desires. It does have delusional aspects such as reincarnation, but I don’t really think they see Buddha as an absolutely virtous prophet. I could be wrong though, and I wouldn’t mind some sources for your claims.

    No, you’re wrong in the sense that they literally collect 0 data on your Mullvad BROWSER usage. It can’t be another data point because Mullvad likely doesn’t even know if you’re using Mullvad Browser, let alone what you’re doing with it.

    Your point is only valid in the case of internet services, which a browser isn’t. A browser is a piece of software that can be replaced in a minute if let’s say Mullvad’s whole development team and CEO went full batshit crazy and placed backdoors in the public (and FOSS, so it can be forked) codebase, unlike e-mail etc. And your Google example is invalid because you can’t compare something like Google Chrome to Mullvad Browser.

    It literally is? LibreWolf and other such “privacy browsers” only work to fool naive scripts, while Mullvad Browser works to completely mix you in with the crowd.

    CreepJS has removed its Visits feature (Visits would show how many browsers with the exact same fingerprint had accessed the site) for some unknown reason so I can’t really post a screenshot, but at least while I was using it around a year ago when it did have that my Mullvad Browser tests would always come up with the Visits value in the thousands, and LibreWolf only with 1.

    Mullvad Browser by itself isn’t foolproof though as you also need a VPN (preferably one that is usually coupled with Mullvad Browser) to actually mix in. Your IP could still theoretically be revealed this way by a state-level actor though, and if you’re engaging in illegal activity (doesn’t need to be drugs or anything, political activism is also illegal in many places) just use TailsOS with a WebTunnel bridge at that point, and preferably set Tor Browser’s security level to “Safest” (you have to do this everytime you restart if you’re using TailsOS).

    Some tips for Tor enjoyers: Pin NoScript to the browser toolbar so you can bypass the security level restrictions when you need to (not recommended for most cases, use at your own discretion). And if you’re having issues with the assigned IP address, you can request new Tor circuits via the sandwich menu on the top right.
