Firefox Focus: No Fuss Browser

Mozilla

About this app

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 online trackers too. One tap, and your browsing history is completely destroyed.

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 trackers, 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 due to our enhanced tracking protection so you get much faster page load speeds, which means you get to the stuff you want a lot faster. Focus 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.

Ratings and reviews

Update sep/2020 Love the new open with app long press option!!! Update: sep/17 Love the search bar at the top, brings up the keyboard immediately without an extra tap. Amazing! Speeding up slow loading sites with a bunch of ads and trackers in a click. Looking at you news sites. I'd suggest an option to share to Firefox focus for it to be able to open any link from another app into this one.

I can't understand why sometimes it stops responding and loading pages. Very frustrating and I'm not the only one. This is happening with others and it appears to not have been fixed nor addresses by the developers. Edit: work around is to "report the site" that will load and then the browser can start over. Edit: so now all my shortcuts have about 40% of the text cutoff making it hard to read. Something isn't working, maybe this is just an "eco-system" thing, bit whatever it is, it's not good.

I found it an interesting concept, it appears to be a lite browser, as it has fewer customization options, but it does have various security and privacy settings activated by default. I liked the simplicity and minimalism, the only thing missing was the option of forced dark mode on pages that don't officially have this feature.
