#2Meh. It's been on my iphone for about a year and I've used it maybe a dozen times. It would be nice to be able to open a link from another browser (eg. Endless) but the option isn't available. So it goes by the wayside.

#3I have really come to appreciate this browser even though I have been using it for just about a month. It is fast and clean. Clicking links from email and knowing they will open in effectively a private browser instance is a great feeling. I missed the multi-tab feature for a little bit but have now adjusted.

#4I've been loving focus. Fastest mobile browser I've used. Appreciate the privacy features also.
I set it to my default browser and keep chrome handy on the side.

#5There's also the duckduckgo app, which seems similar to this, although not sure how they differ.

#6Looks awesome and fast. Exactly what’s needed and expected from Mozilla. Thank you!
Can we have something similar for desktop as well?

#8Have been using this a while, it's really nice as the default browser to open links in. Having the floating button to clear everything is neat and I like the UI desing. It's also really fast.
I'd like to see better support for getting SSL/TLS info - why can't I tap on the padlock and get the certificate info (EV, OV, DV?), cipher suite, HSTS etc?

People were displeased at first, but you and this article made me try. I like the limited feeling very much; also the interface and theme is slick. Kudos firefox.
ps: it's a potential modern dillo.
