Ask HN: Reasons for missing mobile Firefox features?

3 pointsby ccomabout 4 years ago
The last three years I tried to take more care about my privacy. Can someone tell me the reason why the mobile Firefox app for iOS has such a limited set of privacy settings?<p>Example on the desktop:<p>I drop all cookies at the end of a browser session. Only a specific whitelist is kept (Google, Netflix, Facebook, and some more), but most of them are assigned to a container. And opening another website outside the container URL will get a fresh session.

On iOS, Firefox is just a skin around Safari so I&#x27;m not sure how much control they have around things like cookies. App store rules &amp; OS limitations (around JIT compilation) prevent any other browser engine from existing.<p>Why is the Android Firefox dumbed down even though it can technically be as powerful as the desktop version? Mozilla&#x27;s stupidity in a failed attempt to copy Chrome.

Have you tried Firefox Focus on iOS? It’s not feature rich, but it’s my preference for privacy.
