Today, we\u2019re pleased to announce the launch of Firefox Focus – a free, fast and easy to use private browser for iOS.<\/p>\n

\"Firefox

Firefox Focus<\/p><\/div>\n

We live in an age where too many users have lost trust and lack meaningful controls over their digital lives. For some users, it seems as though your web activities can follow you everywhere – across devices, across accounts. To make matters worse, the web can often feel cluttered. That\u2019s why we are introducing the Firefox Focus private iPhone browser.<\/p>\n

Focus is designed for the times when you don\u2019t want to leave a record on your phone. You may be looking for information that in certain situations is sensitive – searches for engagement rings, flights to Las Vegas or expensive cigars, for example. And sometimes you just want a super simple, super fast Web experience – no tabs, no menus, no pop-ups. The Firefox Focus private iPhone browser gives you just that.<\/p>\n

Firefox Focus Automatically Blocks Trackers<\/h2>\n

Focus is set by default to block many of the trackers that follow you around the Web<\/a>. You don\u2019t need to change privacy or cookie settings. \u00a0You can browse with peace of mind, feeling confident in the knowledge that you can instantly erase your sessions with a single tap – no menus needed.<\/p>\n

\"Firefox

Firefox Focus Erase Button<\/p><\/div>\n

Much of what makes mobile web pages slow<\/a> is the technology used to track users on the web. Because Firefox Focus blocks these trackers, it is likely you\u2019ll notice a performance boost on the many sites that track your behavior. When you occasionally see a site that doesn\u2019t work because it is dependent on tracking, and if you don\u2019t mind that kind of tracking, Firefox Focus makes it easy to open your current site in either Firefox or Safari.<\/p>\n

We look forward to your feedback on Firefox Focus.<\/p>\n

You can download Firefox Focus from the App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Firefox Focus continues to operate as a Safari content blocker on iOS, and users will be able to take advantage of Tracking Protection on both Safari and Firefox Focus.<\/p>\n
