AFAIK, Focus is FOSS. If that's correct, can you confirm that your issue is:
I cant get focus on github anymore like i was. That's the primary issue.
because Mozilla moved the builds to their own repository instead of relying on Github.
Ah, that makes sense. Were you using Obtainium or just manually grabbing updates manually? FFUpdater can help you keep up to date, and here's the folder of released apks. I know this messes with you workflow, but IMHO, it's probably better to keep with the browser you like. However, if you decide to try an alternative, all the best of luck!
Try mull.
It's Fennec plus arkenfox.
Firefox regular does that. There's a setting to clear history on close. Then it adds a quit button to the menu. You can pick how much is deleted. History, cookies and anything else.
Yes, but I don't want my main browser to do that. I want my main browser to save things by default and only not save things if I choose to. By having Firefox focus, I have a browser that opens by default that automatically doesn't save anything unless I specifically open it in my main browser.
Actually DDG is lighter than FF Focus, FF uses it's own rendering engine, while DDG uses the system Webview that's already installed on your system
the security of DDG depends heavily on the system Webview implementation, and how fast it receives security updates
Mull can do this very well to a better extent than Firefox Focus (If you aren't already using it, though you could always use Vanadium (or Mulch off of Graphene OS) for accounts. Just enable delete history on close in the Mull Browser settings, and it will sanitize after you close the browser.
Fennec has a setting that does that?
Yes, it does, but it's a pain in the ass to use because most of the time you want to use it in regular browser mode which saves cookies, etc. I have Firefox focus set as my default and in most cases I use it and then very rarely if I actually need something to stick around I will open it in Fennec
I just set fennec to delete all the cookies and stuff when I "quit" from the pulldown menu. Yeah that logs me off of sites but that's ok, I use the built in password store to log back in quickly. If I just close the browser rather than selecting "quit", the cookies stay around. So I use "quit" when I want to get rid of the cookies, maybe a few times a day.
I don't trust the built-in password store and therefore use a password manager. But I would just like a browser that I can open up besides that one which is my main browser that would automatically delete things every time I quit it.
Interesting, I tend to worry less about the password store than external password managers. Maybe you are onto something and I should research it further. But the breaches I hear about have all been with external managers. I particularly don't want anything uploading passwords to remote storage. If I have to share a password between two machines (laptop and phone), I just transfer it manually. Another minor nuisance.
Ooh, I’m gonna have to try this 💥
Then just don't save bookmark or password in duckduckgo borower. There is a option in browser there if delete everything when you exit
