  that is firefox preview.

  Firefox Klar is just the German name for Firefox Focus. Also, if you would just open the link - something HN readers often seem to struggle with - the first sentence of the would tell you that this is about Firefox Preview

  There are currently 3 Firefox browsers on Android 1. Firefox: end-of-life browser built on legacy Firefox engine 2. Firefox Preview: work in progress, soon to replace the old Firefox, rebuilt from scratch on new engine 3. Firefox Focus: a minimal/reduced/simplified browser first developed to pilot the new engine Klar is just the German name for Focus.

    Thank you for this factual and definitive comment. It's essentially required reading for this thread.

    There are more than these 3. For example Firefox Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.rocket&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.ro...

      Thanks for this. I'd never heard of "Firefox Lite". It appears to be an "Emerging Market Experiment" run by Mozilla Taiwan[0] It also appears to be heavily based on or be a fork of Firefox Focus/Klar[1] [0] https://github.com/mozilla-tw/FirefoxLite https://github.com/mozilla-tw/FirefoxLite [1] https://github.com/mozilla-tw/FirefoxLite/pull/2/files https://github.com/mozilla-tw/FirefoxLite/pull/2/files
