Firefox Focus: Privacy browser for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good but...I love how fast it is and it has a very smooth design but I agree with some of the other reviewers who say it needs a multiple tab option. Personally, I tend to jump back and forth between tabs so it would be great if you added that, but overall you’ve done a great job 👌👌.Version: 6.1
✓ False advertising1 - defaults aren’t set to block everything 2 - defaults send analytic data 3 - doesn’t stop ISP tracking 4 - no tabbed browsing 5 - cannot disable JavaScript 6 - changing some defaults to more secure settings gives popup warning about how it will “adversely affect your experience” TLDR: 10% added security (ad-blocker) 90% false sense of security 1,000% false promises about protecting your privacy.Version: 8.1.2
✓ Ads appear all over the placeSince last week, ads have started to show on some of the pages I am visiting. Most notably news and sports websites (Marca, dailymail, BBC sports, POPSUGAR). This was never the case with this app. I uninstalled and installed it again but still the same issue. Pop ups have also come back with a vengeance. This one in particular is enraging because this app only supports 1 tab at a time so it will directly send you to the pop up and in full screen mode! You can’t use back btn because it doesn’t work so your only option is to close the app and re-do everything again. The FAQ doesn’t help one bit, it doesn’t even discuss the issues I mentioned. Extremely disappointed and that’s putting it mildly..Version: 40.0
✓ Site works kinda but still needs improvingThe site works as it should and I use it as an essential adblocker when I come across heavy sites that I want to read stuff on but can’t cope with the ads. It brings me bless because practially I can read some stuff on my phone without consistently being bombarded by pop-ups. However at the same time, the site has it’s negatives with it only working on this one and only site as an adblocker along with not being able to handle popups so they’re always there even if there are less of them atleast. I do wish they could improve on this and just block all popups possible so I can do stuff comfortable..Version: 40.0
✓ Needs tabsPopups that firefox cant block always open as a new page on the same tab, and because popup ads almost always have a site in between that quickly redirects to the new page, its near-impossible to go back to where you were, leaving you no option but to erase and navigate all the way back, not to mention if you lose all the loaded data on the page you were originally on..Version: 7.0
✓ Doesn’t block adsIt doesn’t block ads at all..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Works only on web pages, not YouTubeGood: It can block most web page ads. Bad: 1) cannot change font size of a web page, which is important for iPad 12.9 inch reading, fonts are too small. 2) cannot block YouTube ads. 3) in YouTube, you cannot go to full screen mode. 4) web loading is a little bit slow, but not confirmed with tools. Useless. Hope developers keep on improving it..Version: 8.1.4
✓ “Please update your browser”This is a great browser. It blocks web garbage right from the start and I can even dump my cache with a single click - I use that option a lot. I want to give this 5 stars. More and more websites I’ve been going to have been telling me they don’t support my browser anymore and tell me to update my browser. I can’t even login to them. I understand I can integrate into Safari and basically use FF as an ad blocker but I don’t want to. I want Safari to be my alternate less ad blocking, more open option in case I have I go to a site that has a problem with ad blocking. If I cant go to several of the sites I want to because they don’t support this, I may need to find another option. I feel this should be a simple fix - make the website detect this as a different browser / higher version of Firefox or just update the version..Version: 8.1.4
✓ Doesn’t workAs the title suggests. All the video and content hosting sites I visit are still ladened with annoying or inappropriate and invasive ads. Ads that rip control away from the users are the most prevalent and this app can’t even prevent that. All the apps in the app store needs to add a function to allow users to select ads manually to block through a context menu at the website or use pre-made curated blacklists to stop the most common ads..Version: 8.1.5
✓ CrashingHave been using this for years, wonderful app for the longest time. Recently this has been crashing my phone back to the Lock Screen on session delete. Even a simple google search can crash it, does not follow any logic for large vs small web website browsing. Needs an update but I’m going to search for an alternative.Version: 109.0
✓ Work great but big issue,It’s very nice and I use this as my main browser if there’s one HUGE issue. You can’t have tabs. This has left me having to use safari is I want to actually keep tabs which is extremely annoying and frustrating..Version: 108.1
✓ Great concept, lacking features.I love Firefox and I was excited to find this app. But for an app that is meant to help you focus, I’m really surprised that there isn’t a way to turn off the bright and colourful interface. Where is dark mode? Why can’t we customise the colours? There are also some general UI issues in terms of buttons and spacing. I’ve kept the app installed but I’m using the regular Firefox app for now. I really hope you enable customisation of the interface soon, and if you add dark mode, you enable us to select different shades (darkest black and white is an accessibility issue!).Version: 8.1.6
✓ No tabs! Doesn’t block ads.It’s hard to do much focused browsing these days without tabs. And, although the description says it blocks ads, it isn't blocking Google and YouTube ads. Other than that, it has a very nice interface, but those are deal breakers for me. :/.Version: 8.1.3
✓ Enhanced Tracking Protection Breaks IOS on IpadIpad ios is 16.6. Firefox focus is up to date and worked great until a day or so ago. But now I try to type in the URL line and nothing show up if enhanced protection is on. There seems to be no way to choose individual things to block (like cookies), it’s enhanced protection or nothing. Only if enhanced protection is off can I use firefox focus at all. I thought it might be my keyboard but that works just fine - I’m using it to type this review. So I suspect apple has made some behind-the-scenes change. Or maybe it was mozilla but no other apps besides apple itself have permission to update themselves and even apple’s is limited to “download only”. (Since apple can sneak stuff in anyway I figure it’s apple that caused the problem, but since I really want enhanced protection I hope that mozilla can fix the problem.). Thanks..Version: 121.0
✓ Delete your whole app🤬 youtube will sign me out if i dont have the page open 24/7.Version: 122.1
✓ Unable to use multiple tabsI’m using an iPhone 11 with iOS 14.2. This app feels great, fast and easy to use. But there is NO option at top or bottom of page to open a new tab. Holding a link gives option to copy etc, but not open on a new tab. All online instructions say to open a tab hit the plus icon. Simple but here is no icons. If this can be rectified it’s be a great application..Version: 8.1.6
✓ Possibly good for blocking trackersSeems to block trackers but it’s hard to tell for sure. On the surface, when I use this to browse various sites via a search for checking out products, I generally fail to see similar product ads on Facebook or Twitter so is it Firefox focus or is it iOS limiting the tracking? Using duck duck go for searching may also play a part. I guess for me it’s not worth the time or effort to research it’s performance vs safari or Firefox or chrome. It feels safe using it though like for opening shortened urls or when in doubt about a site. However it clearly allows some tracking since various sites will see I’ve reached my free access limit..Version: 111.0
✓ Can’t open tabsNo tabs.Version: 107.1
✓ Why would you move the refresh button?This was one of my favourite parts of the interface, why was it moved to such an awkward place? And why is the trash icon now at the bottom of the screen where the refresh button was? If I’m going to wipe the browser and type in a new URL then Im going to be up at the top anyway. Why not just leave it up there and keep the refresh button at the bottom where I’m more likely to keep my hand while navigating a site?.Version: 38.1
✓ Usually great but this version buggyThis recent update frequently crashes and with no history need to search and find were left off. Also could not find button in app to report issues..Version: 108.0
✓ Solving the pressing problems facing people everywhereI was just in the process of doing a questionnaire that took me to a link. Once I finish the link it would not go back and all was lost. Hi all I hope you're doing well. This is from your manifesto; "solving the pressing problems facing people everywhere. " From your pledge; " We are committed to an internet that includes all the peoples of the earth — where a person’s demographic characteristics do not determine their online access, opportunities, or quality of experience." contrary to your beliefs there are minority, disadvantage, no/low income , and unemployed people that cannot afford new Apple hardware and have to rely on outdated hardware. That being said; can you at least Support hardware running iOS 9? I have a iPad GEN 2 I bought used. Can you make a FAST safe browser for this device? Apple has managed to push all the other good browsers out. I was hoping Mozella would stand behind its good reputation and remedy our problems. Thanks, the disadvantaged.Version: 107.1
✓ Needs Default Browser Functionality!Firefox Focus is easily the best browser available for iOS / iPadOS... Not only does the browser look fantastic, but it’s easy to use and unobtrusive, giving one a seamless browsing experience that is unparalleled. Of course, there is also the “privacy” aspect and whilst no solution is perfect, Firefox Focus makes great strides towards maximising one’s privacy online, without compromising on functionality or (web site) compatibility. One thing that does disappoint me however, is that Firefox Focus cannot be set as the default browser in iOS / iPadOS 14.x or higher... Interestingly, “regular” Firefox already has the ability to be set as the default browser in iOS / iPadOS 14.x or higher. A bug report has been raised on GitHub, however the dates show that this bug report was raised quite a while ago and the Mozilla Development Team have still not even assigned the issue to anybody! For these reasons, I am deducting two stars from my review - one because Firefox Focus lacks basic functionality that most competing browsers have (that is, the ability to be set as the default browser), and another star because the Mozilla Development Team seem disinterested in address this issue. Hopefully this issue will be addressed at some point, and I can update my review accordingly....Version: 8.1.5
✓ No teethBased on reverse tracking tests, this app provides little if any true tracking protection, prevention of meta data gathering, or anonymous surfing. Although the settings imply a significant level of privacy protection, the actual performance on a basic level is wanting. This in turn creates doubt in other claims, specifically data collection for “development” suggesting Tor and VPNs are much more private. There is no current ability to equip the app with add-ons to enhance privacy, making the app very limited considering its claims at the time of installation. This may be a function of Siri integration and Apples data gathering policies, that remains to be seen. Apple has proven to be an intrusive host, I consider iOS a Faustian bargain, comparable to Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc... Nothing is free, the costs are much greater than we perceive. If you are someone who throws caution to the wind, then “run free Little Bob”..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Updates don't fix this basic problem.After several updates the software still does not work properly. I've been hoping that over time the devs would have solved a simple problem, but alas this is not happening. If you use an Apple Magic Keyboard on an iPad Pro, you are unable to enter any text in the address box. The window flashes quickly, but nothing happens, no I beam and no text entry capability. You can't even paste addresses into the address box. This means that the web browser does not allow you to visit any webpages, or do anything. The only reason it stays on the iPad at the moment, is that I am hoping one day they will fix this problem. This is why I have given it 1 star, because at present it is unusable as a web browser in this configuration..Version: 115.0
✓ A good but lacking browserWorks well and the one touch clear is very useful but only being able to have one tab open at a time gets annoying and the Adblock just doesn’t work. I never got a single ad blocked while I used it and it seems to be inflating its anti tracker’s effectiveness. I was told it had blocked almost 3,000 trackers after visiting just 2 sites.Version: 107.1
✓ Still allows ads in YouTube.Useless browser..Version: 8.1.4
✓ UI problem and no tabs - not for serious usersEvery time I try to seriously use Focus to get information, I ended up switching browser. The problems? 1) The back button disappears. The UI has problem. 2) only 1 tab. That aside, it is missing JavaScript blocker like NoScript..Version: 40.0
✓ Love Mozilla but this isn’t working for meFor 90% of users this app will _probably_ be excellent, but I had one use for it- to access a stream site that is ad-heavy and pop-up crazy: this app just couldn’t cope. Other browsers would open pop-up ads in a new tab, Firefox Focus doesn’t appear to allow this to happen, instead the ad just opens in the same window causing more disruption than before. At least with other browsers I could dismiss the pop-ups and browse the site interrupted. Now I am stuck in an endless loop of landing page, click: redirected to ads, tap ‘back’: landing page, click: ads. Or even worse is tap back: a different ad generated ad infinitum (no pun intended). Like I say, this app will probably be great for most but as it can’t perform my one requirement, it only gets one star..Version: 8.1.6
✓ There’s betterFirefox is a great browser - on PC. But neither this nor the regular iOS version are particularly well-designed. And with DuckDuckGo having a more fully-featured app of their own, this seems a little redundant, though it is great to see companies protecting user privacy..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Slow and Crashes frequentlyApp either slows down or crashes frequently when clicking the trash icon.Version: 109.0
✓ Horrible one tab design; WHY?Good: clean, minimal design. BAD: WHY is it ONLY 1 single window? Why can’t we have multiple tabs? Even limit it to 5 tabs. It’s mind boggling that it only allows 1 window and you can’t have any more tabs. I would not recommend. If it had more tabs, I would (also would rate 5 stars) but it doesn’t so *buzzer* no go (hence only 2 stars). BOO!!!.Version: 8.1.4
✓ Firefox FocusThe app freezes at times. Most often during YouTube videos when commenting or when browsing the comment section. Also when “like”ing a comment then the comment section freezes and only page reloads unlocks the section..Version: 8.1.4
✓ Needs to reflect base Firefox ver numberBrowser works fine although not sure why we can't have the option for tabs. Biggest problem is websites think it's a very old version of Firefox and complain about it. If based on a later version of Firefox it should reflect that to websites or report itself as clearly a different browser..Version: 8.1.2
✓ Many bugsI have been using Firefox Focus for years, but this current version of Firefox Focus has been so buggy that I had to make this review (something that I didn’t bother doing in years). Some issues include: - Adblock preference persists across sessions (if I turn off adblocker for a specific session, closing the session usually reset the toggle and has adblocker on again by default for the next session. This no longer works so if I turn off the adblocker, it stays off until I turn it back on even for the next/new session) - URL selection (in the past, clicking the address bar did a select all on the URL by default which made it easy to copy address or delete/replace the entire link. Now it simply places a cursor so typing text will result in appending text instead of replacing the URL) - Requiring Face ID authentication for a new session (not a terrible bug but is annoying as I am anticipating an existing session) There are some other smaller issues such as shortcuts being deleted, performance glitches, etc that have been surfacing in the past couple months that have reduced the quality of the app. Please fix these issues, Firefox Focus is a daily driver app for me and it’s been frustrating to see the app degrade like this..Version: 100.0
✓ Can’t copy URLs properlyI love browsing the web and sharing intersting articles with my friends. Every time I copy a URL I get this long convoluted crazy web address that’s 10 times longer than the actual URL. Why? I don’t see any privacy benefit to this. So I wind up having to go to safari or chrome to copy a neat and short address to share with my friends. No one want to receive links that are 300 characters long. It’s looks like a scam website. Ugh. Additionally, I wish I could browse with multiple tabs but that’s not possible with Focus. Not a biggie. Other than that, the browsing speed is great, the interface is clean, and I love that I can erase everything by tapping on the trash bin. Super easy. Thank you Firefox. If you ever fix the URL issue I’d love to give you guys a five star review..Version: 8.1.2
✓ Changing my review to 1 star- No tabs (deal breaker - uninstalled) - No night mode Otherwise it would be the best browser based on privacy and speed alone. Sad!.Version: 102.00
✓ Liked this until it starts to be buggyI really like the concept of this browser and have been using it as my main browser for a long time, and I have been liking it. However, recently a core function, back button, which is essential for such a browser without tabs, starts to stop working very often. When the back button is hit, it will display a blank page. In this blank page, refresh button won’t make the page render either. The only two ways are (1) go forward to the previous page where we go back, and go back again, chances are it will load properly (no promise); (2) if it doesn’t work, have to copy the url, close the current page and paste the url to reopen it (if this is a one time link, then bye bye…). This is super annoying and I am trying to find the report bug button. Couldn’t find a way… so frustrating.Version: 122.1
✓ Invaded by GoogleToday I was invaded by Google, no choice of anything. H.Version: 8.1.4
✓ Needs workAutomatic private browsing is a great idea given how much tracking we are subjected to, but Firefox Focus needs some work if it is to become a fully featured browser. Adding tabs is a must. Allowing non-private tabs to be used (so logins for trusted or commonly used sites) would allow it to be a main browser, not an additional one. And allowing zoom on those websites that think they should be allowed to screw users eyesight by blocking the ability to zoom is essentially..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Would like multiple tab switchingThis browser is the fastest I’ve ever seen. Much faster than Chrome and even faster than the normal Firefox. That’s why I’m a Firefox user.:) The only thing is that I would like to ask of Mozilla is to add multiple tab switching because it’s very useful for people like me who does loads of research and have to switch between resources. PERFECT OTHERWISE.👍👍👍👍👍.Version: 4.1
✓ Its not workingIts not blocking ads same like ordinary browser..Version: 8.1.6
✓ Great for those one of searches you do all the time, alas now crashesHave used this for 2? Years now, love it for the quick little things without having to worry about closing tabs and cache and stuff. Yet recent updates on even a new iPhone and it crashes often. Now annoying as much as helpful..Version: 108.0
✓ Magic Keyboard issuesCan’t seem to use Magic keyboard to type in address bar, running iPad OS 15.02. If the iPad is not attached to magic keyboard, it works fine..Version: 38.1
✓ No whitelist feature makes it uselessThere are frequent sites I visit that are broken because of focus. The only way to fix them is to reload without content blockers. This is annoying as I would rather just white list the site themselves..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Very limitedLack of tabs and google integration make this app difficult to like. Also, the keyboard is unlike any other app's, so typing is very tricky..Version: 2.0.1
✓ My go-to browser, but…Compared to my regular Firefox, this browser has issues. It frequently stalls when loading pages. Sites that have transitional popups for login will fail. Form fills sometimes don’t take, including logins. It’s impossible to back out of the occasional redirect to a site that spams you forward multiple pages, there’s no “back” history to choose a previous page away from the guilty site. It loses the previous page sometimes, requiring a browser restart and redo of whatever was being worked on. Lastly, it’s infuriating that the URL window sends the cursor to the end of the URL. Nobody appends or edits URLs in the address windows, and it can take several taps to select/remove the URL to initiate a new search, especially if IOS is being finicky/slow about your taps. Like I said, it’s my go-to browser for casual use, but it has its irritations, and I suggest using regular FF if you need to do something you want to keep track of or do anything remotely critical..Version: 100.0
✓ Pointless and ugly changesWhy have you re-designed the widget to add thick black bevels (with square corners that sit inside a round-cornered widget!). Not only is this an ugly UI update it’s also completely pointless change. As a designer, I don’t want things that make my day-to-day computer/iPad look ugly because somebody decided the widget need to have massive and pointless bevels. Widget has now been deleted so well done!.Version: 121.0
✓ Recent update made it unusableUpdate3: 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 another site and same issue comes back. Too bad..Version: 38.1
✓ Mozilla devs haven’t fixed the bugTL;DR – DON’T update to v100 The Mozilla developers still haven’t fixed the most serious bug introduced in the v99 update to Focus. As many, many other reviewers have pointed out, there should be no requirement to authenticate (“touch ID to unlock”) if there is no existing session when returning to Focus. In addition, there should be an option to wipe out any existing session if the user wishes to begin fresh. The requirement to authenticate in every circumstance is MAJOR friction for many people who have posted recent reviews. Please, Mozilla: return the app to its functionality as of v98.1. As things stand, I’m still using that version of the app, but if the terrible Touch ID bug isn’t fixed soon, I will delete Focus and find a replacement. I have no desire to be slowed down by a development team that removes good features and replaces them with friction and bugs..Version: 100.0
✓ Tu turk key keyIs when you take a small turkey and shove it inside of a bigger turkey and then cook them per himym. This app is kinda like that. I had my hopes up. I use FF on my desktop, but an app advertised as private shouldn’t have info sending on by default and where’s the option to open a new tab or window while preserving the site you’re currently visiting? That seems like it should be a no brainer. So, similar to the tu turk key key in the end it was just wrong. Safari I sure have grown to loathe you and Apple, but leave the light on for me, cus I’m headed back. You can continue to use your privacy first propaganda to collect and share my info until I find your replacement..Version: 40.0
✓ Bug in handling of web links to other appsThere’s a bug in how web links to open another app (for example Twitter) are handled. Instead of opening the other app directly, FF will open that app’s page in the App Store, even if the app is already installed. The app can be opened from there but not with the link content. Hope this can be fixed, it’s a great browser otherwise..Version: 98.1
✓ Good idea, but incomplete!No tabbed browsing, this project is half baked even though idea is good! Make it modern and usable!.Version: 120.0
✓ 10x Better then Chrome/safari but not greatCan’t even block pop up ads, Brave browser is better in every way..Version: 119.0
✓ I’m not a robotHaving to prove 5 times in a row that I’m not a robot with tiny blurry pictures is insane. Third is not real security and means that I’m switching browsers..Version: 123.0
✓ Failing to clear all historyEdit-2: New: I am security minded and perhaps OCD about it; ask my gf. The seamless integration of the security functions Focus and FireFox are not perfect. However, the combination of Focus & FireFox & Mozilla VPN are the gold standard for safe/secure browsing of the web. Other secure(?) browsers such as Brave hamper the web experience so much that it is unusable. Original Post: Visited a page on MSN and received an advertisement image related to a search from several days ago. NOT a mere coincident. AND there is no way to see history. Edit: adding details… iphone 14, Focus app running with most secure settings, searched for steel electrically panel days before, open/close Focus several times a day, have Firefox setting secured also and to delete data upon closing AND I manually clear caches every couple of days, a day or so later I clicked on a link from Drudge and it landed on the article at MSN. Advertisement on that page included Steel Panels the same ‘odd’ size that I had looked at previously. Thought it was curious enough that I deleted Focus, cleared every cache that I could think of… reloaded Focus, head back to the same page on MSN via the same link on Drudge… the panels were still showing as an ad but were in a different place on the screen..Version: 111.1
✓ Why have u got so uselessStarted so great now below mediocre- wanted this to be an alternative to big capture media vacuums but totally fizzled. So sorry but pointless really - so disappointed.Version: 98.1
✓ Work related reviewsCan’t open them due to this protection.Version: 123.0
✓ Focus. Not what it claims to be.I do appreciate the always on ad blocking... and the ability to clear the browsing history easily. However that alone is a poor measure of privacy. It does have one more plus point - it does support TLS 1.3. On the CON side - This so called privacy browser does not use DNS over https, does not validate DNSSEC, and does not employ encrypted SNI. So how can it be a privacy browser if your isp is allowed to continue monitoring everything one does?.Version: 8.1.3
✓ Recent update ruined itI’m moving on from Focus to DuckDuckGo for one important feature - the ability to turn off opening web links in associated apps. The recent Firefox Focus update went from the annoying pop up asking me if I wanted to open Reddit and Yelp and LinkedIn and more URLs in an app to directly opening them in the app, even if I long tapped and chose to open in my default browser. Why does Firefox Focus development team think I cared to use their browser instead of the app in the first place? If I wanted to use the app, I could have opened the app myself. I don’t need you to open the app for me and ruin my half typed efforts in those apps or impact my privacy with those apps. Why do you think I opened your browser? I do not want to open the app! So don’t open the app! Especially when I choose to open in the browser. Once upon a time Firefox was intent on keeping web users in the web and even created Firefox marketplace with html5 apps. Now they seem to have lost it..Version: 108.1
✓ Leaks ads and pop ups like a termite eaten canoe.One of the websites I use for blogging has started doing ads and pop ups like crazy. While this app says it blocks those, it took me all of 30 seconds of testing to find that is inaccurate sadly. Not only did it not stop the ads and pop ups, it didn’t even load the page properly. The only thing that loaded right was the things I was trying to stop. Ah well. Is what it is. Update: got a response from the devs with a link to support. There is absolutely nothing there related to my issue of ads and pop ups not being blocked outside of a few others saying something similar. Wish there was a browser out there that actually worked for that as trackers, pop ups, and redirects on most sites have become malware and spyware in their own right, where we the users and our information are the product being bought and sold by these companies..Version: 39.0
✓ Can’t open more than one tab at a timeFor most people, this basic, missing feature is a deal-breaker..Version: 36.0
✓ 38.0 swaps bin and refresh? Gee thanksThe look refresh should be nice, but I’ve binned hundreds of sessions when going to reload the page with those icons swapped. Daft decision making, does muscle memory mean nothing to the Mozilla programmers?! And as for the ‘improvement’ which has removed any way to tell if a page is doing something after you’ve tapped a button? Another genius move causing multiple button taps and growing frustration every time I use it now. If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it folks, as you’ve just made it much worse 🙄.Version: 38.0
✓ Loss of functionalityI don’t like this new version. Where are the shortcuts to erase history etc. ? Give me back the old one which gave me significantly more control..Version: 38.1
✓ Really slowFirefox Focus is a really good app but it is extremely slow it takes forever to load can you please fix it?.Version: 8.1.4
✓ Adblock does not workYouTube is showing ads as usual..Version: 8.1.7
✓ Multiple TabsNeed to be able to open multiple tabs. Would be 5 star is this was a feature..Version: 121.0
✓ Does not block ads on youtube, unlike other adblockersAs title says.Version: 100.0
✓ When is the update that brings adblocking back?Doesn’t block at all, and it’s only getting worse. I’m not sure if this has been abandoned or what, but this doesn’t block pop ups, take overs, ads on the page, intrusive auto play video, not even banner ads. It’s useless..Version: 8.1.6
✓ Firefox <-> Privacy, pick oneTo start, the app could be miles better in terms of UI, but more importantly it does not care about privacy. It's pretty much no better than saying; "but I used incognito". When the UK gov told them; "their will be consequences" for making DNS over HTTPS default, they chickened out and did so exclusively in the US. Add to that, if you read their blog, you can find multiple articles on how "we need more than deplatforming", showing the cracks in their feigned guise of being a liberal company. They will sell you out at the mere request from daddy government. They ain't no LavaBit..Version: 8.1.6
✓ Doesn’t play nice with RedditI use this all the time but I’m going to have to use DuckDuckGo browser instead purely because whenever I use a Reddit link and chose to use the app, it just launches me into it and not the actual link I clicked. I can use the browser but then I’m obviously not signed into Reddit. If you can sort that out I’ll be back, if not then sadly it’s not going to get used..Version: 123.0
✓ Slow browsingIt’s slowing down my browsing experience...issue resolved once uninstalled.Version: 8.1.2
✓ Good but introduces problems when used as a Safari content blockerThis is what it says on the tin. If you’re after YouTube without the cesspit of ads, it delivers. If you enable it as a Safari content blocker, you’re in for a rough ride. You won’t be able to leave App Store reviews (weird), and you’ll find random issues with other apps (like Outlook hard locking). Best used as a stand-alone browser..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Class action, anyone?I am so sick and tired of false claims of privacy by these sell out companies. Despite “strict” setting, and purported wiping of history, deleting caches, etc., it’s a joke. I’m getting ads that are obviously personalized. The cache does not clear, despite promises it does upon exit and even my passwords got accessed thru their use of Google (!!) browser tracking machine. Which brings me to my next point- and i am not a tech person so maybe im misunderstanding — but how can you claim privacy with Google as a browser? (probably the most invasive, tracking machine on Earth)?? And DuckDuckGo - another choice of browser— it’s pretty widely known that its claims of privacy are a joke and consumer fraud (it’s Microsoft - another leviathan collector/reseller of personal data, and also most hackable). Can you please offer a bonefide Tor option ? Or else just drop the conceit of privacy. The consumers not stupid..Version: 105.0
✓ X s sCan you have an option that would block switch to apps Notes and allow app universal links to open in external apps option and block fingerprintin option and can you have an option to have Block site trackers option and The most annoying thing can you have an option that would save most time is A tabs option remember all tabs erase tabs Data on quit and erase tabs data on background that would be helpful and save a lot of time and a second tabs page on the browser or mini if people open or if there’s an upcoming virus on the website pop-ups and an a HTTPS option of faster connection would give users the option to close it at any time that would be very helpful I believe those features will be very helpful and make tracking less option on the browsing those options and features would be very helpful.Version: 122.0
