    But softwarewise, what the heck is Firefox Focus?

    I just tried it and it has no Addon support thus no adblock, why would anyone use that?

      I'll answer because I use it all the time…

      It's the default browser on my phone so all link clicks in apps (like the one I'm using now) get a fresh, zero cookie session which reduces tracking. I read or watch, hit back, session and cookies destroyed, off I go on my merry way.

      If I want to open a link on a site that I want to be logged in on then I long press and open it in normal Firefox.

      I do have ad blockers on my router too though.

        You can just set a shortcut for private browsing and set a flag in nightly to always be private.
