- airstrike 7y agoLooking at the settings in Firefox Focus, it seems that's only picked up by Safari, correct? I guess if I have Firefox Focus installed I might as well just use that as my browser
- jamesgeck0 7y agoYeah, only Safari uses them. The non-Focus Firefox app also has tracking protection built in, if you'd like to have tabs and such. The main reason that you'd use Safari instead of a different browser is that it has better support for newer standards. Every other iOS browser is powered by an iOS webview, which Apple lets lag behind a bit.
- gnopgnip 7y agoThe big difference is that you can block ads, analytics, and other tracking outside of safari using a VPN, or using a private DNS provider for android.
