Firefox Focus adds autocomplete support and more search engine options

Mozilla’s privacy-focused Firefox Focus browser gets some new feature that makes it easier to use and more convenient. One of the new features is the ability to turn on or off autocomplete for typing URLs. The browser can autocomplete for you URLs of over 450 popular sites. But if the site you frequent isn’t part of that list, you can also add and manage custom autocomplete URLs. The app also now lets you add search engines from any site that has a search field. So, for example, you can look up information on site’s like IMDB or whichever one without having to head to IMDB’s site.

Firefox Focus is designed to block ads, social trackers, analytics, and other content trackers, even Web fonts. When you’re done browsing, you can just hit the Erase button on the top right portion of the app for it to clear your browsing history. It’s available on both Android and iOS.

Firefox Focus for iOS simplifies web browsing, acts as ad blocker

Firefox just released a new browser for iOS users, which it hopes gives people more control over what information about them gets shared. Firefox Focus is a new private browser designed to not leave record on the phone. It has no tabs, menus, or pop-ups. It’s set by default to block many of the trackers that are seen around the web. This is also said to contribute to the performance boost of the browser, since trackers are also said to slow down the loading of web pages. The app is also said to work as a content blocker for Safari on iOS and you can enable Tracking Protection on both Safari and Firefox Focus.
