Is there a whitelist? For some reason they're blocking API access to reddit entirely which is annoying as I want to browse certain sites that rely on this API. Why would the reddit API be on these lists?

#23Will universal links and app banners and handover to desktop still work?

#24Code at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus - feel free to file issues/bugs/questions on Github. We primarily use Bugzilla for this project, but happy to move bugs around.
The submission describes an app, yet the readme here describes a content blocker. Is this the correct repo?

#25The opposite of privacy: every address you type in Firefox Focus gets sent, live, to Yahoo/Verizon, complete with a User-Agent identifying the request as coming from Focus, indicating an unusual desire for privacy.
Can you confirm that? If true, is it at least opt-out?

The app works as both, providing a blocker for Safari, and a browser when you open it directly.

#27"Cannot download. This app is not compatible with your device."
Um…what? I'm on an iPhone 5! Not that ancient!

#28This appears to be an update to a content blocker that has existed for quite some time. I've had this app installed for a long time, but the integrated browser is new.

Upon further inspection, typing suggests from a hardcoded list:

Gee, thanks for assistance in getting to breitbart.com. WTF???
But if you accidentally press search, yeah, Yahoo/Verizon get it. And there's no opt-out or alternative search engines.

#30Would you please elaborate how this is different from using Safari in Private Browsing mode? If I am not mistaken Firefox Focus on iOS would still use WebKit under the hood. Edit: I'm not being facetious or sarcastic.
"Firefox Focus continues to operate as a Safari content blocker on iOS, and users will be able to take advantage of Tracking Protection on both Safari and Firefox Focus." Goes beyond just a browser.
I wonder if it's possible to use this as a content blocker for Chrome on iOS.
