Recently, Firefox introduced a new browser for Android
called Firefox Focus which, by default blocks ad trackers and lets you easily
erase your history, passwords and cookies. The browser also features a
minimalistic design with few configurations options - it does not even support
tabs. I use it mostly when doing quick searches or to check some news. Another
point that may not make Firefox Focus popular with users is having Yahoo as its
default search engine. That is until today.
Version 2.4 of Firefox Focus changes the default search
engine for the US, UK and Taiwan to Google. The app still list other engines
should you want to change. Currently on the list are: Amazon.com, DuckDuckGo,
Twitter and Wikipedia.
In addition to the above, Mozilla also added a
swipe-to-refresh feature. Users will be able to refresh a webpage by swiping or
pulling down.
If you’re a privacy-minded user, Firefox Focus is definitely
the browser you should set as default on your Android device. It will even
remind you to erase your history when running in the background by pushing a
notification to your device. Simply tap the notification and your history is
gone.
Make sure you check out Firefox Focus in Google Play Store.
It’s free.
