It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox (www.androidpolice.com)

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

I use Firefox Focus as my default browser, and use that to "open in" Firefox if I want my session kept for any reason, or Chrome if it's a Google related thing, sometimes.

For almost everything I click through especially out of an app, Firefox Focus is fully appropriate.

I have the standard Firefox set up to open links in the private tab by default. It seems like what focus would do for me

That makes sense, I didn't notice that setting. I was running focus for a long time before installing normal Firefox, so that's how my habit started. Thanks for the tip

I use Firefox Focus as a plugin for Safari on iOS. This article threw up a full page ad begging me to turn off my content blocker before letting me view the article.
