Have you tried Firefox Focus?
- efreak 8y agoFirefox focus isn't firefox, though, it's a private-browsing-only browser, and it's built on an entirely different engine (chromium, iirc). There's no tabs, history, saved logins, or anything else. It's far from being a full-featured browser. Want to disable javascript or images for a while because you're on data? Too bad, you can't.
- mythmon_ 8y agoYou're right that Focus is not a full fledged browser, though it is actively being revamped to use GeckoView instead of Chromium. I think the change is in beta right now. Mozilla is also starting to put more resources into Android (GeckoView, etc). Hopefully we'll see some exciting things in this realm soon.
- mqlkib 8y agoI'm using Firefox Klar (Firefox Focus for Germany): I have tabs (you can't open an empty tab, but you can open links in a new tab), the session history is enough for my needs, and I can disable JS under settings (and also web fonts, but not images (that's a pity)). For logins I'm using Keepass Android Offline, Firefox Focus/Klar can use it as autofill service (neither normal FF nor Chrome can do this). So for me FF Klar/Focus is the best Android browser at the moment, it superseded the normal FF (with ad blocker) on my phone. Edited: bad autocorrects from Gboard.
- Groxx 8y agoFocus is so crippled, for no conceivable benefit (as a user), that I find it unusable. A nice concept, but it can't even switch tabs without causing a full page reload, which is like reverting back to the pre-tabbed-browsing stone-age. And, as mentioned, it's not even Firefox. It's just a cache-less webkit wrapper.
