Mozilla improves on do-not-track tools for Firefox Focus on Android

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.

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.
