Description
Use Firefox Focus for everything you want to keep separate from your main browser — for all those get in get out and forget about it moments. No tabs, no fuss, no muss. Block ads and online trackers too. One tap, and your browsing history is completely destroyed. Blocking distracting ads also means faster page loads which means Focus gets you where you want to go a lot faster. Firefox Focus is the perfect get in/get out, search and destroy, I’m on a mission that’s none-of-your-business — web browser. NEW DISTRACTION-FREE DESIGN When you open Focus, you just get the awesome bar and the keyboard for super quick searching. That’s it. No recent history, no past sites, no open tabs, no ads, no distractions. Just a simple, minimal design with menus that make sense. ONE TAP TO DELETE HISTORY Erase your history, passwords and cookies with just a tap of the trash button. CREATE SHORTCUTS Pin up to four shortcuts on your home screen. Get to your favorite site even quicker without typing anything. FASTER BROWSING WITH AD BLOCKING & TRACKING PROTECTION Firefox Focus blocks many ads you’d normally see on web pages so you get much faster page load speeds, which means you get to the stuff you want a lot faster. Focus also blocks a wide range of trackers by default, including social trackers and those sticky ones that come from things like Facebook ads. BACKED BY A NON-PROFIT Firefox Focus is backed by Mozilla, the non-profit that fights for your rights on the web, so you can trust it not to sell your data.

    Update: A recent app update deleted my 4 browser shortcuts and I had to add them back in. Hopefully this won’t recur with future updates. This happened on both my iPhone and iPad. Until the last update you could add 4 shortcuts to your favorite sites so you could easily open them without typing in the whole web address for your most visited sites. Not sure why this feature would be removed. If you didn’t want to use it then you didn’t have to use it. So if users were concerned that others would see their favorite sites they could just enable Face ID or Touch ID to prevent this. Hope this is added back in a future update. It was very convenient to just check your favorite news, sports, or other info sites for any quick news updates when your in a hurry. URL Autocomplete isn’t the same because the sites you visit may be similar to those saved in app’s Top Sites which means you have to type more of the website address to get to the correct website. Instead of just clicking the shortcut....

    If you want to know how private your browser is in 2021, look up EFF Fingerprinting / Cover Your Tracks, which is a non-profit site that will do a legitimate test of your browser’s privacy. Focus will still test better than your other browsers, I guarantee. Edit: Thanks for page search and other new features! Very happy to see Focus receive meaningful, timely updates yet again. Firefox Focus is an absolutely necessary addition to your browser list. You can block ad, social, analytic, and others which if you know what’s up is worth the sacrifice of losing your tabs. Saying the regular Firefox app has these additions by itself or because Focus is installed is ignorant and if you want that question answered you should probably look that up instead of leaving negative a review. Thank you Mozilla for keeping Firefox Focus updated - it is a very refreshing addition to the sea of privacy-invasive apps on iOS, and it easily became my default browser as well. Could we get a way to change our U...

    I have used Firefox quantum ,developer ,normal ,beta in my Pc for a while now and I can honestly say that I’m impressed by the work and attention to detail Firefox puts into there products . Firefox focus it’s other perfect example of how Firefox changes the way things work . This browser performs and delivers what it promises . With a simple button you can delete all your history ,it blocks ads and google analytics,and it’s fast . There are some downsides such as you can only have one tab open at the time and there is very little space for customizing. Firefox realized that well some iPhone users prefers the tools safari has to offer like out-filling password and multiple tabs so there is a way to integrate the ad blocking section into safari that way users can have the safari users experience and bring privacy at the same time .

    Update3: Dev have responded with a generic boilerplate “here is the support link”, which requires account creation. “Contact developer” also goes to a generic help page about how to install and configure the app. Feels like my issue was not acknowledged and that robot is responding to these reviews. Update2: after recent UI changes gave it a try and found that issue is there doubly so. Whenever a site tries to do full screen messages (say Paywall notification) Firefox frame becomes inaccessible. Can’t use it. Multiple examples. It’s a JavaScript issue likely. Update: Devs have responded and I have updated to the latest version, and problem persists. It’s less often now, and I don’t have a recent example. Will update the review later. Still not usable. Was a happy user for a while, as now I can’t access the navigation bar after I open the page. Page works and scrolls well, but I can’t see the entry box, or back/forward button no matter how much I scroll up or down. Kill the app, open an...

    I use this to look up quick things without worrying so much about privacy. It deletes what you are viewing after awhile, so if it’s a webpage you want to take your time reading, then it’s best to open in Firefox proper. Of course, there is a feature to open in Firefox private tab if you have it installed on your phone, which is what I use for webpages I want to keep long term. Unfortunately, there’s no option to open the page viewed in Firefox Focus in a non-private tab in Firefox proper. There’s also no reader view or option to increase webpage viewing size using finger gestures. This makes reading webpages with small font impossible, so I either have to open the webpage in a different browser or view it on a laptop. There is no way that I see to block Javascript on a webpage either. I’d like that feature and a way to increase font size for readability. Overall, it’s not bad. It’s one of the browsers I use often after Safari.
