Firefox Focus

Great idea or completely useless?

I can sort of see the appeal. It's small, lightweight, no nonsense, purged with a single click etc.
On the other hand, if I was paranoid about posting somewhere I'd rather use modified firefox which renders the whole concept obsolete. Especially if your main browser doean't save history in the first place.

I bet 20 bucks that we can't know or edit the list of ad/trackers that it blocks.

Anyway:
Install umatrix.
Configure it to block everything and unblock when you need.
Install µblock origin has a fail safe if you allow by mistake shit from uMatrix
Install Https everywhere and block non-https traffic.
This is the simplest thing to do.

Why would you use anything made by people that want you dead?

It's meant to be a default "Open With" browser, because too much shit on android does that and the system's hardwired to give chrome an unfair advantage (like IE6 was during Browser War I)

Is this in reference to them forcing their CEO to step down because he committed wrongthink a decade before?

Yes, there are only on-off buttons in the options.

What exactly is the purpose of that, other than not having non-encrypted connection?

...

It's free software. Or as free as it gets in the case of the iOS version.

What is this, some security candy bullshit like "self destructing cookies"? Or just some USB version of firefug. Either way that isn't lightweight. Nothing about firefuckyou is lightweight in any way. Sage for firefug thread. Disgusting garbage that freezes every minute and full of showstopping bugs, have to wipe profile and manually uncuck settings again.

I pity your caregivers.

I couldn't find a proper response for this post, myself so I'll refer you to

That's all nice and all, but if you are implying Firefox isn't trash, you really need to fuck outta here.

Mozilla Foundation can go fuck itself!

I use GNU IceCat so I'm somewhat safer, but Firefox is trash and we need to work on replacing it, not shilling it.

JavaScript was a mistake.

All it sends is telemetry (crash/performance reports, etc.).
The initial install information it sends is bs, but it can easily be circumvented by disabling WiFi, running FF for the first time and then toggling all telemetry off.
I'd love to use IceCat, but it's not on the Debian repositories and I can't be assed to wait 2~3 hours while it compiles from source.

Then start compiling before you go to bed or some shit.

Sparky Linux, which is Stretch based, has prebuilt IceCat packages: sparkylinux.org/repo/pool/main/i/icecat/

Just add trisquel repo and apt install icecat.
I've done it and it just werk

Its that, and so much more since then.

I just wanted to be left to live my life in peace, and grant the same to those unlike me. Now im ready to man a guard tower.

Would use firefox if it wasn't such a slow cunt, also it sucks at rendering 8ch. Currently trying out mercury

ok sure

...

it just came out on android

ILLEGAL IN GERMANY

What do you mean, mein Führer?

Well if a website suport https but per default it redirects you to the http version HTTPS-everywhere forces https when possible.
But you can also ask https everywhere to block any non-https traffic.

Install Random Agent Spoofer
True.
Client side javascript is the cancer that also limits alternative web-browsers to appear.

Firefox Focus has so much (((telemetry))) that they legally can't offer it to several EU countries. Instead those get Firefox Klar, which is like Windows Reduced Media Edition

Don't be a fag OP. Focus is shit. The only thing it is good at being shit.

It's literally a toolbar around Webkit. Despite the fact it does literally nothing the AOSP browser doesn't already, it's still somehow a more obese download than Firefox 1.0.
Bravo, Mozilla. Die in a fire you fucking traitors.

Dropped

It is pointless. For true sekkkure browsing and anonymity, use the Tor Browser Bundle.

Just use Brave.

Where's that in F-Droid?

Another one of you k00l kunts? Where the fuck are you all coming from?

same faggot. just a different name

ignore the tripfags retard.

Hmm
