I use this almost exclusively. Couple of weird things that I don't like:
There's no accessible "new tab" option without long pressing a hyperlink. If I want to open a new tab (so I don't lose my current page) and web search for something, I do it by long pressing any hyperlink on the current page.
Also, tabs are reloaded every time they're brought to focus, so I can't queue up three or four tabs to read later in a moment where I don't have data service (subway train, remote area, etc).
Oh, and oddly, they also have a "send usage data" option in Settings. Seems pretty contrary to the general purpose of the browser, but what do I know.
- faitswulff 9y agoMy biggest gripe is probably a lack of find-on-page. It's on a roadmap, somewhere, but no idea when it will land.
- deltaprotocol 9y agoI belive the tab generation constraints are a feature! They are meant to avoid the clutter most browsers become. Seriously, tabs are extremely overrated. Focus on something, delete it or archive it (Pocket, Instapaper, org, etc) and tag it, move on with a clean slate. This way you are always 100% focused on the task at hand. You leave archiving to archiving tools and not to tabs. I agree on your last point though. Mozilla's heavy dependence on user data (and aggressive decisions like opt-out telemetry) goes against their speech. I choose to share with Mozilla if I trust them. But they understand "collected with permission" to be "poweruser data" and they want to suck information from the "other users". And that drug is a dangerous one when you point fingers all the time at others addicted to the same thing. In Focus it is plain wrong.
