Additionally, the browser is lightweight and features a clean, streamlined design, making it easy for users to get started right away.

Features

NEW DISTRACTION-FREE DESIGN

When you open Firefox Focus, you just get the awesome bar and the keyboard for super quick searching. That’s it. No recent history, no past sites, no open tabs, no ads trackers, no distractions. Just a simple, minimal design with menus that make sense.

ONE TAP TO DELETE HISTORY

Erase your history, passwords and cookies with just a tap of the trash button.

CREATE SHORTCUTS

Pin up to four shortcuts on your home screen. Get to your favorite site even quicker without typing anything.

FASTER BROWSING WITH AD BLOCKING & TRACKING PROTECTION

Firefox Focus blocks many ads you’d normally see on web pages due to our enhanced tracking protection so you get much faster page load speeds, which means you get to the stuff you want a lot faster. Focus blocks a wide range of trackers by default, including social trackers and those sticky ones that come from things like Facebook ads.

BACKED BY A NON-PROFIT

Firefox Focus is backed by Mozilla, the non-profit that fights for your rights on the web, so you can trust it not to sell your data.

User comments

I love this app and use it a lot when I want to search fast and won't need to bookmark, or I use it to read articles because it gets rid of so many different types of ads in a no fuss, no muss kind of way. All I have to do to read an article in it is share it from whatever browser (or even app) it started out in and magically the site is readable, instead of being like cancer with ads metastasizing all over the place.

I love how Firefox Focus cuts straight to the chase—no fluff, no clutter, just pure searching. It strips away all the nonsense that bogs down other browsers, and for that reason I use it daily. If you value speed and zero distractions, this browser has that. More apps would benefit if they took this no-frills approach. Keep it lean, keep it in Focus!

I've used Firefox Focus for 2 days and already love it. As a student, writer, and researcher, I search many things daily, including random curiosities. The automatic history clearing is my favorite feature because I no longer need to delete searches manually. It's fast, lightweight, simple, and distraction-free. My experience was so good that I downloaded the main Firefox browser too. Thanks to the Mozilla team for building such a privacy-friendly and useful app.

Summarize

Firefox Focus: No Fuss Browser is basically still a browser application, but the special thing here is that it completely helps us focus on experiencing the web browsing application by eliminating unnecessary complexity factors. Its strength is demonstrated by its ability to automatically block ad trackers right from the beginning of web browsing, helping users’ actions and information stay secure from parties specializing in activity tracking for advertising purposes.
