Avoid at any cost.

Firefox Focus and its Safari extension are disappointing for users who already use a reputable privacy and security solution with system-wide ad, tracker, and malware blocking. (Read, for example, a good VPN).

Focus mainly adds another overlapping layer of content blocking while still lacking the feature I actually want: a proper HTTPS-Only mode that automatically upgrades HTTP connections to HTTPS or blocks insecure HTTP. Its protection is limited to supported browser content and cannot guarantee that all ads and trackers are removed.

For users without any other protection, Focus may offer some useful tracker blocking. But for people who already have comprehensive device-wide security and privacy filtering, it feels largely redundant and not worth the extra app, configuration, and potential website breakage.

Mozilla should provide meaningful HTTPS enforcement and functionality that complements existing security tools instead of duplicating them. Until then, I cannot recommend Firefox Focus or its Safari extension, and I’ll be warning others about these limitations.

Maybe 5 star

I’m not educated on search engines but it seems safe to me

Best browser for privacy

This is the browser I always use. I’am not against showing advertisements but the way capture more information about you etc

“Open and erase”

I am getting worn out from opening my phone only to discover that Firefox is once again telling me to open my phone and erase Firefox content. This started happening about six months ago and hasn’t stopped.

If I cannot get this to stop, I will have no alternative but to cease using it, trash it, and find something else.
