Doesn't work properly in linux.

To get it to work correctly, you need to modify the shortcut by adding the %u parameter in one of three places
/home/user/.local/share/applications/start-mullvad-browser.desktop

Exec=sh -c '"$(dirname "$")"/Browser/start-mullvad-browser --detach %u || ([ ! -x "$(dirname "$")"/Browser/start-mullvad-browser ] && "$(dirname "$*")"/start-mullvad-browser --detach %u)" dummy %k %u

Full instructions:

  1. download and unzip the browser
  2. run it with the --register-app parameter
  3. modify the created shortcut by adding the %u parameter to it
  4. execute xdg-settings set default-web-browser start-mullvad-browser.desktop

that's it, now it's default, links from other applications are opened and no repositories are needed.
