J'utilise firefox focus sur mon téléphone, et régulièrement quand je rebascule d'une autre application vers mon navigateur il recharge la page en cours. C'est très pénible (perte de contexte quand j'ai été chercher un code de confirmation dans le mail / SMS par exemple). C'est une "fonctionnalité" de Focus ou c'est lié à Android ?

I'm pretty sure @firefoxnightly is deleting files I download despite me not using private tabs. Been running some tests and force quitting the app prevents files from disappearing from my Downloads folder. It's such a bother to file a bug report since I haven't ruled out #FirefoxFocus interfering somehow, so I'll just leave this note here.

If someone can open a new tab in #firefoxfocus, please enlighten me. #firefox

When does Firefox Focus stopped been amnesic?
It retain cookies, connection and all for the last weeks. Inhave to clear the app data to delete them. Wasn't it his purpose?

Salut ici !
Sur #android j’aime beaucoup avoir #FirefoxFocus qui est mon navigateur par défaut et dans lequel s’ouvrent tout les site, y compris ceux avec pleins de trackers mais ça m’est égal puisque tout est supprimé quand je ferme l’appli.

Je cherche la même chose sur #Linux #desktop, mais je galère un peu.
J’essaie d’utiliser les conteneurs, mais ça n’est pas aussi simple…

Vous avez des idées pour faire ça ? Autrement dis: pour ouvrir tous les sites par défauts dans un navigateur neutre.

Je rêve d’un navigateur web qui s’efface et qui laisse juste l’interface libre.

Pour être honnête ça me gène profondément qu’il y ait un marché pour ça. Parce que ça pousse plein de projet à faire des produits, et par là même, le plus souvent, à vouloir réinventer des choses comme la gestion de fenêtre.

Est-ce que ça existe #FirefoxFocus pour ordi ?

"Bug fixes."

Not sure exactly when this was done and enabled by default, but in case you use Firefox Focus/Klar, be aware.

@TimWardCam @newsfeed einstellungen > alles erlauben I think

Basically the smallest fine print :+. You may also use #firefoxfocus , it auto-deletes history and cookies

@randderuiter I tried this with #Firefox Focus, #Quant and #DuckDuckGo

Quant browser was the worst, it offered no protection at all. DuckDuckGo had strong protection against #tracking, but it had a unique fingerprint. Both are Chrome based, so this isn't really surprising

#FirefoxFocus was like DuckDuckGo, strong protection against tracking, but none against fingerprints. In other words, #fingerprinting isn't limited to the Chrome world, Firefox has no safeguards against it either

Add Search Engine To Firefox Focus On iPhone / iOS

L'UE sta costringendo Apple, Android, e Microsoft a far comparire una pagina per far scegliere il browser di default.

Sono curioso, quali browser per desktop e mobile con impostazioni di privacy elevate di default state usando di più?

Sto pensando di aggiornare la mia guida ai browser etici e quindi mi interesserebbe capire il reale interesse verso ogni progetto: https://noblogo.org/filippodb/breve-guida-per-navigare-piu-veloci-e-piu-sicuri-con-le-estensioni-per

@SwiftOnSecurity You can't tell me what to do. You're not even my read dad.

If the only platform was the browser on an inhospitable network and you could only afford one plugin, then uBlock Origin (@ublockorigin) has been the top choice for an age. As manifest version two is replaced by three, uBlock Origin Lite may be able to hold that place.
Now is the second best time to test switching from uBlock Origin to uBlock Origin Lite, noting that its settings are quite different, with several levels of operation and some add-on choices.

On my network, layers currently include:
• Quad9 (@quad9dns) .11 (Secured with ECS: Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation) upstream of
• Pi-hole with Firebog Ticked, Perflyst for streaming media, and a few other lists, and
• Privacy Badger (@privacybadger) from EFF (@eff) and uBlock Origin Lite (Optimal) on full-feature web browsers.

Going mobile in foreign lands:
• Proton (@protonprivacy) VPN with NetShield (i.e. filtered DNS) and
• Mozilla (@mozilla) Firefox Focus default browser with all Enhanced Tracking Protections on.

The tricky part is maintaining the configuration of each of the full-feature web browsers on each platform to balance privacy, security and function - not least given how setting sometimes magically change after an update. Choice of search provider alone is a major factor. Currently, I prefer @StartpageSearch

Managing trust of privileged software managed by and distributed automatically from proprietary stores is whole other matter.

An append to the electronics reset:
Now have #FirefoxFocus as default browser

Uninstalled five apps I could not reject at setup

#Newpipe installed for watching YT videos

It goes without saying that people are idiots and that we're our own worst enemy and I have the perfect example of that.

This morning I phoned my uncle, because I sent him a YouTube video and wanted him to watch the supreme upper body strength of the Olympians. Needless to say when I broached the subject of me doing similar… he hated!

But the conversation eventually moved on to his #YouTube woes. For the past week or so, YouTube has been relentless in showing him #adverts.

So I'm asking him questions and eventually ask him if he's updated his #uBlock. He tells me he switched to some new #AdBlock. Don't worry, this isn't a story about someone getting a virus. Turns out he installed the new extension and it worked for a day and doesn't any more. Weird.

So I end up mentioning #ManifestV3 and then it dawned on me. So I ask him, if these problems are in #Firefox? He tells me no, they're in #Opera. Huh?!? So I confirm and ask him if everything works okay in Firefox and he says, no #ads in Firefox, only Opera.

Erm, what in the #BabyReindeer? So I explain that Web Manifest Version Three is designed to hinder #AdBlockers and that he should just switch to Firefox. He says he can't because he shared the computer with his missus and she's using Firefox. I tell him he can just set up a container for his YouTube usage and problem settled. He doesn't like the idea of splitting his web activity between two browsers and besides, he likes to send tabs to his #OperaGX.

So I decide to break it down and tackle it one by one. Starting with the easiest. I explain you can send tabs from Firefox to Firefox. He says it's easier in Opera. I tell him it's pretty easy in Firefox and he asks how. I tell him he needs to log in. He says he is and the option isn't there. I told him to log in on both. He says that in Opera, the option is there in the main UI. I tell him it's an extra click, hardly gonna kill him.

He then says that he doesn't like the new tab UI. Brother, install a frigging extension or just change the options. He likes the big logos in Opera.

He says Firefox boots slower than Opera. I can't dispute that, I don't have his set-up in front of me. But for me, it loads quickly.

So now we're back to splitting activity. I don't have a solution for that. I want to mention that #Mozilla are working on #ProfileManagement for Firefox, but there's no point mentioning things that aren't ready.

So let me just throw shade at Mozilla for a second. As someone that has been an advocate for Firefox because I have felt our goals aligned. I'm deeply saddened by the fact so much of what you're doing is behind logins these days. I'm also saddened that community isn't a consideration when you're hiring. By that I mean, you're hiring a bunch of people that don't feel the need to bother with the community and think it's below them and that's sad. I say this because the community has been clamouring for better profile management for aeons and you're only getting around to it now.

Anyway, he eventually says he prefers the Opera UI because it feels more modern. He says that even the Mozilla website looks dated to him and then says that he would consider Firefox if there was #FirefoxFocus for desktop and at this point I feel like he's just making excuses. I tell him that ultimately, Firefox solves his problem right now because of #MV3 and that even the #uBlockOrigin developer recommends Firefox. He says he'll keep trying to make Opera work? What?!?

At that point, my motion sensor at the top of the stairs was going nuts via #HomeAssistant as my cats were pacing while waiting for their breakfast, so I told him I'd call him back.

I called him back and skeptically recommended #Brave, but he says he got Opera working by disabling a bunch of stuff and relying on the dodgy AdBlock extension he found. WTF? So I said okay and went to make my breakfast.

I used to have #FirefoxFocus set as my ad blocker on #iOS but it’s not been as effective as I’d want it to be. Time to switch to a different and probably less private app 🥲

Limoges: Présentation de Firefox Focus, Le jeudi 21 mars 2024 de 17h00 à 18h00. https://www.agendadulibre.org/events/29394 #bfm #bfmLimoges #limoges #bibliothèqueFrancophoneMultimédia #firefoxFocus #mdll #libreEnFete2024

so i was recently informed that #FirefoxFocus for iOS exists. downloaded it and have been trying it out… it seems very uh, simplistic, which is probably the point. emphasis on #privacy, auto-clears browsing history, etc., which is all great, but doesn’t seem to allow for multiple tabs being open at the same time. also no access to my FF bookmarks, passwords, etc.

is there a way to use the “regular” iOS #firefox browser in a way that includes the additional privacy that comes with firefox focus?

@monkeyflower I used to use #firefoxfocus in the past, I don't remember why exactly I stopped using it: whether I read some noise about it being discontinued, or I started using #duckduckgo more often. I definitely liked it when I used it.

One thing I like about #firefox #incognito is the ability to still send tabs to my other computers (bit of a #privacy compromise). I'm able to send private tabs to my desktop firefox, which is convenient.
