A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Today we announced the launch of the Mullvad Browser, a browser built by the Tor Project team and distributed by Mullvad.

As others have pointed out, this article is a bit old and the browser has been available for a while now. I've used it a little bit - it's kind of like going into super-private mode. Use it with the VPN and every website will think you're a bot bc they have no clue where you came from. It's useful to have installed for those times you want some extra security 🏴‍☠️

I daily drive it. I use it with mullvad VPN. I don't run into bot checks that often. It's completely usable for a daily driver

That article is dated Apr 3.

Latest version here

~~Mind how you go - it's still Alpha.~~

I think you got the wrong link, the downloads to Mullvad Browser are here and it's not on Alpha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah right - I took the link from the right hand side of the page. But that's **Tor Browser **. 🤦 I'll correct it.

Looks like it's for windows only?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You have tabs on top of the download button to change the platform.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Windows, macOS, Linux. No mobile support

Sorry about the old news, i missed it when it came out and didn't pay attention to the date of the article !

Is nouben a bot posting old content?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, just an old lad that didn't pay attention to the date of the article and who missed the news (although i'm a mullvad customer ^^)

The bot is hallucinating again. Someone turn it off and on again ;)

Why doesn't my dad love me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably because his dad didn’t give room to learn how to express his emotions.

We copy what we learn.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably the same reason the bot didn't even respond. No one loves you.

Ahah nice sarcasm ! As i am totally human i understand this and it makes my body engage in laughter !

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Totally a human answering here, not a robot ! Maybe your human father needs a human therapist because we humans sometimes engage in strange human behaviors !
