I can not find it in the Colombian appstore, is it available worldwide?
I think not
Focus by Firefox, a Content Blocker for iOS

Re: Focus by Firefox, a Content Blocker for iOS
#32I'm so confused here - I thought Apple added the ability to create content blockers to reduce revenue on the web so that more content providers resort to ADs and they get a bigger slice of the pie. Why would Mozilla help them in their goal? Wouldn't it mean less reliance on the web and less Firefox in the long run? What am I missing here?

Focus is a tracking blocker, not an ad blocker. Mozilla doesn't have a fundamental problem with display advertising on the web, but we do have a problem with the privacy intrusions associated with invisible trackers.

Mozilla is no longer an ideological organization, if it ever was one. This gets them media attention and may attract more donations, which will perpetuate the organization's existence.

#35Pardon me as I don't understand this blocking analytics or ads thing yet. Wouldn't a small web business which relies on Ad money be killed with this move ? Wouldn't someone who wants to provide content for ad money eventually have to pay Apple some cut for displaying ads on app. Wouldn't it drive the prices of ad as a result which would hurt small business who looks at internet advertising for their growth strategy ?
Ads are a stupid payment method anyway. It only pays up to a few cents per view at most. What if you want to be paid a little bit more? Overhaul your complete monetizing scheme?

#36"Apple doesn't abuse its power" only allows a Firefox content blocker in safari
And try changing the default browser on your iPad - not possible. I don't know why Apple gets away with anti-competitive behavior that MS was hauled over the coals for two decades ago.

#37For those saying they can't get it - give it time to propagate through the App Store server caches. Usually it can take a couple hours from a "Ready for Sale" to actually being visible in different regions.

#38If Nick is really the one who wrote that piece, it's sad that the Vice President of Firefox doesn't know about image resizing and optimization.
That's quite a leap just to get to an ad hominem attack.
The way we have WordPress configured should have handled this automagically. I'll look into why it didn't.

Their content management system should ideally do it for them, minor point but yeah.
