To be fair, I’m not thrilled with the implementation. I can finally keep the browser open for longer and get more done with it. The addition of tabs removes my main frustration with Firefox Focus. On Android, though, Firefox Focus has become a no-brainer to have around. I can’t speak for iOS, but given that most Apple users probably already install Chrome anyway, it’s likely even more debatable whether you need a third browser. If I need to quickly research something that I don’t want my significant other to see, if I need to look up a particularly thorny issue, if I need to check out a sketchy part of the web, if I need to open a site I know takes forever to load, or if I need to get around a paywall - in all those cases, I reach to Firefox Focus.Ĭhrome is my general browser on Android, while Firefox Focus is for when Chrome just can’t cut it.
I therefore see it as my Chrome alternative for very specific use cases. It is therefore a browser that has two advantages: privacy and performance. Any alternative I install is quickly forgotten.īy default, Firefox Focus blocks many web trackers, including analytics, social, and advertising. All my tabs are already in Chrome, and everything opens in Chrome by default, so there’s never a need for a second browser. I don’t need multiple browsers dedicated to specific tasks like I do on Windows, and so any browser I tend to install alongside Chrome on my phone doesn’t end up getting used. Although I work on the go, including handling work email, chatting with colleagues, and performing some light editing, my phone is mainly a consumption device.Īs such, Chrome for Android to me is really just an app for holding an excessive number of tabs for articles I need to read and sites I need to reference. But that’s because my PC is a productivity machine, and I’m always testing something or dedicating a browser to a specific task. Depending on the computer, I typically have Chrome, Chrome Canary, Firefox, and Edge installed.
