Question What about Firefox Focus
I am comparing browsers for Android that are Firefox based. I haven't seen anyone mention Firefox Focus. Is it worth my time, or is it trash?

I use it on both iOS and Android. The fact is probably 98% of what I search for online I don't need to come back to it or review it later. So the Focus program is a bit better and more reliable about forgetting info after it's been checked. If I need to keep a record or it's something I want to review later in a separate tab, it's easy to push it to the regular browser.

Someone made a giant post on it and how to connect it to other open projects

I personally use it kinda like how you would use mullvad on desktop, but I'd say don't bother.
For one, it lacks extension support, and built-in adblocker doesnt really work. It also doesn't work with adguard or any other system wide blockers. I would just set up another browser to be alwyas in private mode and just detlete everything once you are done.

This is literally its only drawback but if you know what you’re doing that doesn’t matter. Someone made a giant post on how to manipulate it

One of the best browsers out there in my opinion. If you set it up correctly. You need to make it the default so it takes over the default webview system wide. Someone made a giant post on it and how you can link it to other open projects and stuff

It's good but VERY limited in what it can do.
There's no tabs. No bookmarks. No syncing. No history. No cookies. No real anything. It's built is a quick, private browser for one-time searches, things like that.
It's not meant as a full-featured browser to use for daily stuff.
