Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.

Is it not just firefox with more privacy settings by default? Are there actually festures added?

Mullvad browser is based off the Tor browser, which is based off of Firefox. It's basically a secure/hardened Tor browser minus Tor, which makes it slightly more usable for private.
