My concern with the Mullvad ads is that some are essentially lying about what their product does. One of the ads I recall said something like:
> Imagine an ad that won’t track you after you see it
> Mullvad VPN
That’s not what a VPN does though. Tunneling my browsing does not stop sites from serving ads, setting cookies, fingerprinting browsers, etc.
- xnyan 2y ago> That’s not what a VPN does though. Mullvad itself is extremely clear that use of a VPN alone is not enough for the reasons you stated. Mullvad VPN (which is what they advertised) is a suite of products and services, some of which are: - DNS services (ads, tracking) - A privacy-optimized browser (cookies, fingerprinting) - Network services like multihop routing (many benefits such as resistance to timing attacks) All of these services are included with your subscription at no additional cost. I feel like the claim of preventing ad tracking is as legitimate as it could possibly be.
