Firefox focus. It will change your life
Is it much different from private browsing in regular Firefox with ublock, adblock, etc?
Some websites auto reject cookies, it blocks some ads (highly recommend something like adAway on F-droid), and every time you close the app, it deletes all cookies and history
Is it possible to configure regular Firefox that way or is it exclusive to this variant. Is there value to having both?
Specifically related to the posted picture, the regular firefox mobile (and desktop) can be configured to not show your history inside of your search/address field, so that you can have your history without it being discoverable to unintentional inspection.
You can achieve the same in regular Firefox with extensions, configuration and private mode, but you need to put the effort and remember to activate private mode. Firefox Focus comes configured to try to maximise privacy over making all sites work by default.
I have both, and have Focus set as default, it closes all tabs and deletes the history every time. If I want a website to persist I'll open it in the regular one, so I get to choose 😬
No, go Fennec or Ironfox via Fdroid. Install ublock for ad blocking. Works the same and is open source.
Have you seen the better browsing experience? It's on Zen. It's literally on Librewolf. It's on Floorp without ads. It's literally on Waterfox. You can probably find it on Ironfox. Dude it's on Ladybird. It's a Servo original. It's on GNOME Web. You can browse on GNOME Web. You can go to GNOME Web and browse it. Epiphany has it for you.
Great; how do I do that on iOS?
Or just use Firefox with adblock and lose the friends
Fennec and Ironfox are improved versions of Firefox with better privacy/security hardening so picking either is probably preferable to base Firefox
We're in memes, not OpSec. The average person isn't going to care about that as much as they are going to care about having to sign into every site after closing a tab.
