    I know it doesn’t have add on support. That is a very good thing. I don’t want it to.

    Yes, it has a finger print. I am agreeing on that point. It should be fixed, firefox android has anti finger printing, and I don’t understand why they dont add that to firefox focus.

    Again, I use focus for 90% of browsing on mobile by default. I use a different browser for when I want to go to sites I actually care about and use, where I want additional ad block, sync, etc.

      You can just… not install addons… or only install trusted ones, from a trusted store, like uBlock Origin.

      “It has a fingerprint” makes no sense. Please look up what that even means. Everything has a fingerprint.

      Focus is just Firefox Android in worse with a minimalist UI and always private-browsing mode. You can literally do this in Ironfox, and much more.

      screenshot of Ironfox browser settings showing a toggle for "always use private browsing mode", among others like which referrers are sent and if cache is written to disk.

        But I don’t want to. I don’t even want it to have a mechanism to add extensions. That is the point.

        I know what fingerprinting means. Again, Firefox for Android has antifingerprinting, but focus does not. That is weird. Why they don’t add it and make it default is strange.

        Finally, what is your weird obsession with pushing Ironfox? I am talking about (and started this with) Firefox focus.
