There is a new Firefox browser available in the Google Play mobile app store today, with Mozilla debuting Firefox Focus for Android.

Firefox Focus is a different browser than Firefox for Android or Desktop, in that its’ core mission is to ‘focus’ on providing user privacy, with tracking prevention and ad blocking by default. Firefox Focus first debuted on Apple’s IOS mobile operating system in November 2016 providing a privacy-focused browser for iPhone and iPads.
