☝️ What she said. It is terrific!
@mastodonmigration @Remittancegirl @jon I like Vivaldi. I downloaded it about 3 months ago, loved it and even donated 100€.
But then I stumbled on this: https://privacytests.org
I’ve since settled on Mullvad.
Sure, it’s missing a load of features like bookmark sync and password mgmt, plus all the extra Vivaldi goodies, but you can’t argue with privacy.
PSA: The Tor Browser Security Level slider cannot be relied upon without a full browser restart (per an anonymous community report and confirmed by Privacy Guides staff) - Make sure you are aware of this if you rely on this feature for your safety.

🚨 Tor Browser opsec discovery: The security level slider cannot be relied upon without a full browser restart: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/05/02/tor-security-slider-flaw/
If you frequently switch between security levels in Tor Browser (or Mullvad Browser!), make sure you are fully restarting the browser every time, otherwise you could still unexpectedly have dangerous JS features enabled!
This requirement is not publicly documented anywhere. Hopefully @torproject will add a prompt to restart after modifying this setting in a future Tor Browser release.
