We\u2019ve had tremendous success since then, we launched in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2017\/01\/25\/firefox-focus-now-available-in-27-languages\/\">27+ languages<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2017\/06\/20\/firefox-focus-new-to-android-blocks-annoying-ads-and-protects-your-privacy\/\">launched on Android<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2017\/01\/25\/firefox-focus-now-available-in-27-languages\/\">hit over 1 million downloads on Android within the first month<\/a> of launch.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re introducing a new feature: quicker access to your most visited sites, as well as the ability to add any search engine to your Focus app. They were the most requested items from our users and are aligned with our goals on what makes Focus so great.<\/p>\n<p>We know our users want choice and miss the convenience of having their favorite websites and search engines at their fingertips, but they don\u2019t want to sacrifice their privacy. Since the moment we\u2019ve built Focus, our goal has been to get our users quickly to the information and sites all while keeping their data safe from unwanted targeting.<\/p>\n<p>We all have our popular go-to sites that we visit regularly &#8212; whether it\u2019s checking the latest news on your favorite news site or checking the scores of your beloved sports team. Now, you can add the sites you visit frequently to your personal autocomplete list within the app. This means that only you can see the sites\u2019 URL in this list. So, when you\u2019re ready to check your favorite sports team\u2019s scores, you simply type in a couple letters and autocomplete will finish the job.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11140\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11140\" style=\"width: 663px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11140\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IOS_Android_new1-300x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/12\/IOS_Android_new1-300x281.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/12\/IOS_Android_new1-768x719.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/12\/IOS_Android_new1-600x562.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/12\/IOS_Android_new1.jpg 814w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Autocomplete on Android (Left) and iOS (Right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Check it out here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F9bouLLkRNY?rel=0\" width=\"835\" height=\"505\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also something new for users where they can add search engines from any site that has a search field. If you want to search from somewhere outside our list of suggested search engines, go ahead and add it! For example, if you want to see a movie this weekend but don\u2019t want to waste hours on a bad movie, you can check rottentomatoes.com. We know that choice is important to our power users so this new function allows them to set up their preferred way for searching the web.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons users love Focus is because of the faster load times due to our auto-blocking of ads and trackers. It quickly gets you to the places where you want to go and sets us apart from other browsers. We built Focus as the quickest and easiest privacy browser built with you in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The latest version of Firefox Focus can be downloaded on<a href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/b8s7qo?campaign=moz_blog&#038;adgroup=blog&#038;creative=focus_android\"> Google Play<\/a> and in the<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/id1055677337?mt=8\"> App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a little over a year since we launched Firefox Focus.
