I have good opinions of Mullvad but I could not find what does it offer that other similar extensions do not?

Also, seems like so many privacy-advocating companies are releasing these kind of browser extensions - all doing similar things - while preventing fingerprinting without compromising user experience is still quite difficult.

They don't have much data on record for each account. You just get an account number, thats it. No name or address required, and you can pay by mailing them cash... I find that rather unique. Also they have a no-nonsense payment scheme, no incentives to pay for a full year vs a month, so real easy to just pay for a month here and there

I think you answered your own question. They are going after easier low hanging fruit that keeps them on par with other services.

They aren't owned by a company that owns multiple other vpns that they equally boost. It's a pretty self-contained entity ran through without overmarketing or shady business structure.
