Add aarch64/arm64 support for Asahi Linux/Raspberry Pi
librewolf-bin has aarch64 support on the AUR, but mullvad-browser-bin does not, so I cannot use it yet on Asahi Linux without compiling it.
We will look into further distributing Mullvad Browser at some point in the future.
This depends on https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/32355
There are unofficial builds of Tor Browser that work just fine here https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-browser-ports/files/ Would be nice to also be able to use Mullvad Browser. Or does anyone know someone who publishes their builds? I haven't tried yet but I guess I should. It's not just all the Asahi users, but also Raspberry Pi users, or some of the other Arm desktop machines with Linux. It's not just the server world using Arm anymore.
Ok coincidentally the guy over on Sourceforge now is also providing a MB build. @sudoer777 You can test it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-browser-ports/files/mullvad-13.0.6/ For me it works well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AsahiLinux/comments/197rdhm/librewolf_and_mullvad_not_supported/
Given the fact that I have now myself managed to compile Mullvad Browser, Librewolf and Icecat on Linux aarch64 and all run just fine, that Reddit thread seems to be overly pessimistic I guess you could say? There's also someone in there claiming that Mullvad VPN does not work, which even has official aarch64 packages... maybe some users just aren't really used to using any other CPU architecture than x86 and give up in an instant.
If there will be an ARM build, please also make an ARM Flatpak and publish it on Flathub.
Hi guys,
Any news about the arm version of Mullvad Browser? I am using Asahi Linux on a M1 mac, it would be great.
There's an ongoing effort to have Tor Browser / Mullvad Browser for arm, see: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/merge_requests/920
The issue is not to make the browsers run on arm, this has been achieved by different people. For TB/MB, there are additional requirements, like making the builds reproducible, and this adds complexity.
