Worth noting if you are using their VPN services or Browser.

EDIT: Apparently, labelling them as far-right isn’t as clear-cut from an economic perspective, but they do hold many core identity politics that are common amongst far-right parties such as:

  • Voiced support for the idea of large-scale remigration on multiple occasions, even for Swedish-born immigrants: “Sweden belongs to the Swedes”
  • Supports Sweden leaving NATO
  • In favor of Sweden leaving the European Union in a so-called “Swexit”
  • Stated that Sweden should only support other countries on the condition that it benefits Sweden and that it has to be “Sweden first”

    I kinda get your point. But at the same time if you pay money for this VPN, a non-insignificant part of the money will go to this guy.

    So if someone has a problem with the ideology, is it that weird that they choose not to do business with this provider?

      Apparently the bulk of his income comes from other companies he co-owns that deal in investments, with him only taking a small amount of dividends from Mullvad profits.

      So yes, if you buy a Mullvad subscription, there’s a nonzero probability that a small amount of that will go to a fascist sympathiser who may donate it to the local Nazis, much in the way that if you subscribe to a Substack, there’s a probability that some of your subscription will go into the pockets of Nazis whom the company promotes in the name of “free speech”.
