## Review summary

Users consistently praise Firefox Focus for its privacy-first approach, strong ad/tracker blocking, and a lightweight, distraction-free design ideal for quick one-off searches. However, many complain about the lack of tabs, session loss when switching apps, missing features like font-size control and advanced back navigation, and a Google-only search default. Overall, it’s valued for privacy and simplicity but limited for multi-tab tasks and feature parity with the standard Firefox app.

### Pros

- Privacy-first browsing with strong ad/tracker blocking and cookie control.
- Lightweight, no-frills design that’s fast for quick, one-off searches.
- Private mode and privacy controls to reduce tracking.
- Ad-blocking helps reduce ads across sites.

### Cons

- No support for multiple tabs / lacks tabbed browsing.
- Switching away from the app can close the current site or return to an empty home page.
- Missing common features like adjustable font size and more flexible back navigation; limited to four preset sites.
- Default search engine appears to be Google-only.
