Hi there,

I’ve started using Mullvad Browser recently(switched from Brave) and really like it.

I turn on browser history when using it and was wondering if this would be kind of defeating the point? Obviously I’d get the other security benefits from the hardening done, but should I just use vanilla Firefox?

Interested to hear people’s opinions!

    I guess it depends on your risk tolerance?

    How sensitive is your browsing history?

    how many people have access to your account or root access?

    How many people have access to the device under a different account?

    Are you concerned about cyber attacks?

    Are concerned about the device getting confiscated/stolen by another party?

    If the answers to these questions are low risk then you basically have very little problems with keeping history on your device. Remember your isp/VPN will be able to see DNS calls and ip address connections which best case scenario will expose the websites you go to.
