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

I've used this for a while and my feelings are mostly positive. Not all websites work correctly the occasions where a problem occurs are few and far between and in that case I open another browser. Recently though I've had some problems when entering text in form fields. It seems laggy and the characters can end up out of order. Sometimes when entering a URL nothing happens. I try to navigate but nothing. I have to kill the app and reopen. An option to open a new tab empty tab would be nice.

I love this app and use it a lot when I want to search fast and won't need to bookmark, or I use it to read articles because it gets rid of so many different types of ads in a no fuss, no muss kind of way. All I have to do to read an article in it is share it from whatever browser (or even app) it started out in and magically the site is readable, instead of being like cancer with ads metastasizing all over the place.

Firefox Focus is a fairly decent browser. It is still not 100% private as I have found that autofill has filled out some previous searches from a different session. However, it makes to be a good disposable browser and does not use a lot of space on your phone. Overall the concept is very good. My issue with it is that insecure connections(http) are disallowed. Also it's stopped connecting me to any websites at all. The browser is broken and unusable.
