I like the effort, but I think their target is slighty off. The privacy with regards to the network (ads, tracking, fingerprinting, etc.) and the privacy with regards to other users of the same machine (browsing history, downloads, etc.) are orthogonal. FireFox Focus lumps them together into one, just like FireFox private mode. I think they should be seperated. I want locally all the convenience of usability, but towards the outside all the protection and privacy features. FireFox doesn't offer that :-/

- j_4 9y agoI honestly love the package as it is for this very reason - the browsing experience is top notch, and the ephemeral nature of cookies, open sites etc. keeps me off the phone, and social media in particular.
- deltaprotocol 9y agoI like it so much that I can't help but dream with Focus for desktop. I realized most of the times the browser can be amnesic (maybe should?) and completely involve websites in private bubbles with mitigations. The robust version of the browser ends up being the home of long therm, trustworthy pages.
