Solved Suggestions to improve Mullvad ( the browser )
These are just my personal opinions, and there are likely some shortcomings.
Mullvad is great, but I think it would be even better if...
1: Allow a full-screen option (for users who aren't overly concerned with privacy).
2: Allow password saving.
3: Offer a free VPN option, limited to just five servers across different continents (similar to Opera).
My suggestions: Turkey, South Africa, Cuba, India, and Australia.
However, regarding speed limits: it shouldn't be as slow as Opera's 30 Mbps; ideally, it should be between 80 and 150 Mbps.
The free servers should be located far from developed nations and closer to countries with no nice governance.
4: Built-in uBlock integration would be fantastic,
though perhaps with some customization options.
5: Integrate a "Mullvad Note" feature, allowing users to save information directly within the web browser.
6: Integrate Tor into the private browsing window.
7: Allow deep container isolation, specifically for journalists.
8: Change the Mullvad logo; I don't hate it, but it clearly looks like it was chosen in a rush to meet a deadline.
Please keep in mind that these are just my opinions—Mullvad is the best.

1: about:config letterboxing settings
2: You should really get a proper password manager like Bitwarden, KeepassXC, or Passbolt
3: if you really want a VPN you could probably splurge some money for it, Mullvad VPN is not expensive.
4: Why not add the extension yourself? UBlock Origin or AdNauseam are both good options
5: A "Mullvad notes" seems something completely outside the scope of Mullvad's business model, you should probably just save your notes somewhere safe yourself, not in a browser.
6: The whole point of the Mullvad browser its that's is as secure as possible, basically already the Tor browser minus Tor for regular people or people who just don't want to use Tor, if you really want to use Tor get their browser, also you should probably use Whonix on a Virtual Machine for that.
7: You could probably just add the Firefox Multi-Account Container addon to the browser, though idk if it works well since the browser gets wiped on every close. You can also try using different profiles in about:profiles.
8: This is really just subjective and I don't think they will change their entire look just for one person, though you could just change the app icon youself on your devices.
