@satefan Was it a conscious decision to not make this Focus a share sheet target? I open a big proportion of my links via the share sheet so would love to be able to use this for that scenario.

For true private browsing, it needs to go through some VPN connection. Is that included too?

@husseinyahfoufi Yeah I don't think this is I think it's exactly how Google Chrome works which is deceptive really. Everyday people don't know this but you aren't really browsing privately.

@satefan Unless I'm missing something about this particular product, I believe the point that @husseinyahfoufi made is still valid and that the 'deceptive' comment made by @nicholassheriff may have sidetracked this thread a bit. There's still the issue related to Private Browsing not completely protecting a user from all possible tracking scenarios that might be of concern. Therefore, a VPN is typically one of the easier options for going this last mile in making a browsing session 'private', no?: "Even if you use private browsing, anyone who has access to the network you use to connect to the Internet can potentially see what you’re doing and pin it to your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which can potentially be traced back to your router — and your address. A VPN, or virtual private network, lets an external server act as a buffer between you and the Internet. Now, anyone who’s watching can only see the VPN’s IP address. Perhaps more importantly, your data is encrypted going to and from the VPN server. You can use a VPN at home or on the road, so this is probably one of the safest ways to surf if you really need to use public Wi-Fi..." source: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/w... So, that said, how does this new Firefox Focus product compare to competing products like Aloha Mobile browser or Opera VPN mobile for example?

@jydesign thanks and agreed. For those wondering, here is a link to the Opera VPN which I guess could be used in addition to Firefox Focus Opera VPN for iOS: Free unlimited ad blocking VPN browser via @ProductHunt https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@jydesign @satefan @husseinyahfoufi Wow I literally said exactly what Hussein was saying lol and people are calling my comment deceptive and distracting from the comment ROFL. Everyday people millions of people outside of the tech community would be reached with Firefox's product that don't even know what a VPN stands for. This is the actual definition of deception: "giving an appearance or impression different from the true one; misleading." Period by definition the approach that has been talking on this is misleading. That's it! I guess all of these writers are deceptive too and distracting from the comments: How Private Browsing Works, and Why It Doesn't Offer Complete Privacy http://www.howtogeek.com/117776/... Is Chrome incognito really private? Do I have a case for a lawsuit if it's not? https://www.quora.com/Is-Chrome-... Is Chrome’s Incognito Mode Really Private? 4 Things to Know About it http://www.guidingtech.com/33828... Private Browsing Settings Aren't as Private as You Think http://mashable.com/2014/07/21/h... Right now people are scared hundreds of millions of people, they have been fearing for their freedom and it is compounded with electing Trump as president so the timing of this by Firefox is by no means an accident. Top grossing utilities apps are:

So yeah their is a lot of new money to be made given that Mozilla use to make $300 million via Google Adsense/and their billion dollar search deal with Yahoo and Google that is now finished. All I wanted was the same clarity like everyone else here and I was literally quoting a article with that comment.

No. I used it on my android phone and it nearly crashed my phone after getting very hot and using 90%+ of my CPU. I don't know what it was doing in the background. I don't trust it.
