straight to the rabbit hole:
- Just like any other, they have "business" partnership and there is no idea about who these are?
- Less servers in EU including home country Sweden than to say US. If you truly advocate privacy than this should change.
- The audits are done under a "restrictive" selected choices given to auditors. And funny thing is these so called audits are paid unlike a more stringent independent and open access kind of audit. Can you really trust theese paid auditors? who knows.........
- Never I have seen anything like a forum or AMA on reddit? engaging with users is important. only few social media handles which again limits the user interaction
- No business info is actually public. Zilch! Nada! They wont talk about this part anywhere.
- Iceland is known for liberty and privacy around the globe but Mullvad has zero servers there!! On the contrary the UK gets more love than even EU.
- I'd never understand why they partenered with Tor team to introudce Mullvad Browser? Heres the confusion. Tor team actually makes it and Mullvad deploys it with their own VPN as an offering. If you rally wanna be transparent than this browser should not even hav gotten any VPN and remain neutrall right? Just a hardenened fox
- they shockingly dont have DAITA featured servers in Sweden!! own nation is left out?? this step alone speaks about how business is more of a priority
- and of course core source code of severs and DNS are closed ! ka boom!
- forgot to add this and had to double check but Mullvad is one of the most prominent donors to Tor Project (good for them!!) and now the Tor team partnered with them to provide Mullvad browser!! this step is so wrong on so many levels. A sponsor got the contract from the developers they donate to?? again m not the one to judge but seems weird. . . ...
yea yea I am looking for my tin foil hat :D
