News of a brand-new browser offering a whole new spin on the Tor network might have caught all privacy nerds out there by surprise.

On April 3, one of the best VPN services around, Mullvad, launched its new product which was developed in partnership with the Tor Project.

First released in 2008, the free and open-sourced Tor browser has become synonymous with privacy online as it hides user data by rerouting connections to at least three encrypted servers all run by volunteers.

However, this level of security comes with some drawbacks in performance. Plus, Tor is often associated with illegal activities on the dark web.

The Mullvad browser is essentially Tor, but designed to be used with a trustworthy VPN instead of the Onion network - a way to provide greater privacy to as many people as possible.
