I think FF Focus is absolutely brilliant an mobile and for everything else (except Facebook) I use firefox with ublock origin. It performs very well and I can nicely sync my passwords and tabs to my other devices.


Firefox Focus used to be based on Blink, which explains its responsiveness.

I think they switched to Gecko lately, but not sure if is still as fast.


I use Firefox Focus as my primary browser (every crap I click on opens in it), and Firefox as my secondary (when I need tabs).


For those on Android, Focus does tabs. The interface is different and more hidden, which is feature-not-bug territory for Focus: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/open-new-tab-firefox-fo...


True, but not very nice to use. For example, if you change the tab, all other pages get unloaded and will reload if you change back to them. Very good for loosing where on the page you where.

It is not a big issue really as FFF (as I understand it) is not meant to be used for tabbing a lot and it prevents the usual tab accumulation.
