Mullvad Browser
Mullvad Browser 15.0.19 is a privacy-focused browser for Windows, macOS and Linux that reduces tracking signals and fingerprint differences while retaining ordinary tabs and extension support.
What Mullvad Browser does
Mullvad Browser is designed to reduce tracking and browser-fingerprint differences while keeping familiar tabs, bookmarks and web compatibility. It relies on a stable default configuration, so extra themes, fonts and extensions can make a profile more distinctive and expand its permission surface.
Privacy and identity boundaries
The browser is not a complete anonymous-network, account-security or malware-isolation solution. Signing in, submitting information, downloading files and installing extensions still create records with the relevant service. Treat the browser as one privacy layer rather than a replacement for system and account controls.
Version and platform boundaries
Version 15.0.19 is archived here for Windows x64, macOS and Linux x64. Check the platform architecture, update state, download directory and extension compatibility on first launch. Keep ordinary browsing, sensitive work and downloaded files separated by task where practical.
Site compatibility and temporary exceptions
Stronger privacy defaults can conflict with scripts, cookies, fonts, media or login flows. Use a temporary, site-specific adjustment, record what changed and restore the default after the task. Avoid creating broad permanent exceptions just to make one page work.

Mullvad Browser 15.0.19 installation and anti-tracking guide
Keep the default privacy configuration at first, verify common pages and downloads, then make the smallest task-specific adjustment while keeping bookmarks, accounts and files managed separately.
Before you start
- Select Windows x64, macOS or Linux x64 and ensure enough disk space for the application, profile and download directory.
- Prepare a separate test task and do not import every extension and history item from a primary browser.
- Store bookmarks and account-recovery information separately from the browser profile and keep a record of required site workflows.
Installation steps
- 01
Install the matching 15.0.19 package
Use the package for the current platform and verify the version and update state on the About page before importing data.
- 02
Keep default privacy settings
Test normal pages, account login, media and downloads with the defaults first. Change only the setting required for the current site and note the temporary exception.
- 03
Review bookmarks and extensions
Import only necessary bookmarks and evaluate each extension's page, download and host permissions. Use a separate profile for tasks with different account or file requirements.
Quick start
- 01
Check site compatibility
When a page fails, inspect its script, cookie and media permissions and apply a temporary site adjustment. Restore the protection setting when the task is complete.
- 02
Control downloads and file access
Use a dedicated download directory, verify the source and extension before opening a file and remove temporary copies after the task according to the local retention decision.
- 03
Avoid unnecessary fingerprint changes
Keep themes, fonts, window settings and extensions limited and stable. Add one customization at a time so its effect can be reversed and diagnosed.
Usage tips
- Privacy settings reduce some tracking signals, but account logins, submitted information and downloads still leave records with the service receiving them.
- A stronger protection level can require more compatibility exceptions. Keep each exception narrow and temporary rather than weakening the global profile.
- Do not treat the browser as a malware sandbox. Scan downloaded files with the operating system's security tools and keep the system patched.
- Separate browser sessions, accounts and download directories when a task has different trust or retention requirements.
Troubleshooting and uninstall
Why does a login or CAPTCHA fail?
Check cookies, scripts, system time and the current site's permissions, apply a temporary adjustment and retry. Restore the default protection after the session rather than making a global exception.
Why are fonts or videos missing?
Check system fonts, media permissions and hardware acceleration, then compare a clean profile. Avoid installing an unknown script or extension as a quick fix.
- Export only necessary dataExport bookmarks and verify that account-recovery information is stored separately, then sign out and remove unused site permissions.
- Uninstall and clear local dataExit the browser, uninstall it through the operating system and confirm that downloads and backups are retained before removing the profile, cache and temporary files.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mullvad Browser an anonymous-network tool?
It reduces some tracking and fingerprint signals but does not replace account security, system protection or every network privacy measure. Logins and downloads still create service-side records.
Should I install many familiar extensions?
Keep extensions limited. Custom extensions can change the browser's fingerprint and request broad permissions, so check source, updates and page access before installing.
What should I do when a site breaks under the privacy defaults?
Use a narrow temporary adjustment for that site, record the change, complete the task and restore the default. A permanent global exception weakens more pages than the one that failed.
