This would be great! Of course, a big beneficiary of this policy change would be Google, since Chrome and Gmail would presumably be two of the most-switched-to apps.<p>I&#x27;d love to be able to use Firefox Focus as a default browser, especially for Siri-based searches. I think there&#x27;s probably a way to use Shortcuts to pass a search to Firefox Focus, but I&#x27;ve not tried figuring this out (and found Shortcuts to be buggy last time I tried it — even Apple employees couldn&#x27;t figure out the issue I was having).
