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 been using this for years. Straightforward to browsing, no problems. Can choose your blocking content levels and once you close the browser, it wipes clean cookies and etc. Also saves no history. I use it all the time for general browsing. Though, I can't seem to save images from the Google image search section, not sure if a setting is preventing that or not but, gives no issues elsewhere. Other than that one hiccup, I have no issues with it.

Firefox Focus wasn't closed, yet it closed ALL tabs! I didn't restart, close the app in any way, or hit the trash icon. This has happened to me multiple times now over the course of weeks of use. No updates have addressed it seemingly. This app is unusable like this. I get it's for privacy, but if it can randomly change behavior without a change of inputs, that's called a bug and needs to be addressed.

THE innovative feature of the main Firefox app is the bottom toolbar. Having the option to move the search box and nav buttons down where I can f-----g reach them is somehow unique to firefox, and it's just more invaluable as phones get taller. It's absent here in Focus. Given the nav buttons and search box are the ONLY way to navigate I would've hoped there was a setting to put them in reach, even if this is "No fuss" stripped down version of FF.
