Mozilla’s latest update to its privacy-minded browser, Firefox Focus, brings its Enhanced Tracking Protection feature to the Android version of the app. It lets users select which sites will have access to their data, block cookies from all sites or third-party ones or those cross-site trackers that follow your behavior across the web. It was first introduced in October with Firefox 63. This feature brings back a sense of privacy as they can opt out of having all their online activity recorded online. It also helps speed up your internet experience as it takes away the trackers that bog sites down. Android version of the app also gets Google’s Safe Browsing service to keep its users from landing on shady websites. You’ll get in-browser warnings when you land into a flagged URL. Meanwhile, iOS users get search suggestion features. You can now share what you type with search providers and get automated suggestions based on your queries.
