#42Any reason why this is incompatible with the iPhone 5c?

#43The 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.
Since this user's response to their own comment was killed (not sure why) I'll repeat: this is incorrect. Domains are chosen from a hard-coded list:

#44Is 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?
This uses Disconnect.me

#45Add prevention/detection for those annoying modals to collect emails after 15 seconds on a page and I'll marry you.

#46Works really well! First I joked about how it's the perfect browser for watching adult content on the go (which it is :P) but it's rather impressive. The execution is really smooth, there's just enough options and it's really fast; there's even an option for blocking web fonts. Great work!
Certainly less clunky than iCab, which is also pretty good when you're "looking for an engagement ring" and other such sensitive browsing.

#47Does it still use the Safari engine, or is it allowed to use a different one?
Safari WebKit, yes.

It requires a 64-bit CPU, which was introduced with the iPhone 5s.

#49Code 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.
This looks really good! Not sure if this is worth opening an issue over, but are you planning on supporting search engines other than google?
I only see it supporting yahoo. I didn't try very hard but in the settings there is no way to change it from yahoo, which is really frustrating. Did I overlook something?

#50It is interesting that they're making it seem like a new app, when they're actually augmenting an existing (and seemingly forgotten) app. I was a little confused about the app/update at first, given that I'd had Mozilla Focus installed already. It was an adblocker/privacy plugin for Safari only, though.
It appears they just took the Private Browsing component of Firefox for iOS and integrated it into the old privacy plugin Focus app, and renamed it Firefox Focus.
In any case, it has the same features it did before, so I'm okay with it. It does duplicates my Firefox app's functionality some, but oh well.
