      Fair enough. I’m glad it works for you.

      For what it’s worth mullvad browser works for all of my use cases, I haven’t found anything it doesn’t work for.

          You can open up the no script options and click on disable globally.

          Sorry to hear mullvad’s not loading anything. Seems like a weird bug

          Setting the default browser, is a problem on Windows, there is a workaround I could dig up for you if you want. But basically you have to make a script and then modify the registry to point to that script as the default browser. It’s a pain in the butt but it works. Thankfully on Linux, and Mac OS it just works as the default browser

              On Qubes it just worked after I did --register-app

              Their GitHub has an issue open for it in Linux, I see that the tor project is working on a solution as well to make it more elegant.

              But since it doesn’t load any web pages for you, you don’t want to make it your default anyway.
