Firefox Focus: No Fuss Browser 158.0: what changed
Google Play lists bug fixes and technical improvements for this build. Firefox Focus also offers a stripped-back search screen, tracker blocking, home-screen shortcuts, and one-tap history clearing for browsing you want to keep separate.
What changed
- 01Bug fixes and technical improvements
Google Play describes this release as bug fixes and technical improvements. That is the update's stated focus, while Firefox Focus remains designed for quick searches without tabs or a visible recent-history list. Open Google Play to see whether it offers this build, then use Focus for a browsing session you want to keep apart from your main browser.
- 02Worth using: one-tap history clearing
Firefox Focus puts a trash button within reach so you can clear browsing history, passwords, and cookies with one tap. That makes it useful for brief searches you do not want mixed into your main browser's activity. Clear the session when you are finished, and remember that this action removes the listed browsing information from Focus.
- 03Worth using: tracker blocking
The app description says Firefox Focus blocks a wide range of trackers by default, including social trackers and trackers associated with Facebook ads. It presents this protection as a way to reduce ads and speed page loading. You can use Focus for searches where you want its tracker-blocking approach, while keeping in mind that the description does not promise every tracker will be blocked.
