All I'm waiting for is to be able to install ublock origin. Without it, the borwsing experience simply does not feel fast like it does on Bromite (chromium + adblocker).

Just use something like Blokada (https://blokada.org), and you'll get the benefit of ads being blocked device-wide as well.

I tried. But the adblocking wasn't as reliable as just using Bromite. In addition to that it was also breaking Google play and Motorola updates.

Blocking outside the browser isn't a big deal for me since I don't use any apps with ads (I just pay for an ad free version when it becomes useful enough)

It'd be nice to know what Mozilla's plans are for Firefox Focus.

Felt like it was always a stopgap solution until Android for Firefox had been through its big overhaul.

Are they keeping it around until Firefox works on iPhone? Are they keeping it around forever? Should Android users on the bleeding edge consider moving to Firefox Preview in anticipation of Firefox Focus going away? There was a time where Focus was the bleeding edge.

Development on focus has been halted last I read.

Just awaiting the ability to install ublock!

Is it possible to disable cookies per-site on Firefox Android? Specifically blocking cookies on medium.com to prevent its page-read-counter paywall from ever triggering.

Ublock origin supports this straightforwardly,and works wellon Firefox Android.
