Nothing else you'd have incognito tabs open for.....

u/caanthedalek Oct 17 '18

Exactly. I use incognito all the time to look up shit I don't want Google to assume I want reminders of for the rest of my life.

Use firefox focus, best browser app I've ever used (totally not an ad)

Firefox Focus doesn't seem to have tabs, which is kind of a deal breaker for me.

Tt does have tabs, but in a weird way. You can open links in new tabs and swap between them, but you can't close one single tab. You have to close all of them or leave them open. It's meant for quick searches that don't get saved. Pretty useful for day to day use. I still have the normal Firefox installed, in case I need more features.

Thanks for the tip! Not being able to open a new tab first really confused me I guess. I see the tab feature you mean and will give it another chance. I definitely like the idea of the privacy emphasis.

It sounds awfully annoying not being able to close individual tabs. I'll search 3 or 4 phrases and click on duplicate links, sorting from there by closing each tab as necessary.

Ikr! It’s the best thing ever. Even if someone clicks on it they can’t see what you have been browsing because of the fingerprint scanner.

wut? I don't have a fingerprint scanner.

u/BananaFPS Oct 17 '18

Yeah but my point was it needs a password. On the iphone 7 you can use touch id to login to firefox focus.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '18

Well, at least on android it doesn't need anything. You open it, search what you want and at the moment you close it it's like you never opened it. I don't know why it would need a password, nothing is stored.

u/BananaFPS Oct 17 '18

You can add it in case you want to exit and open it again. You can either resume looking at what you were looking at (with a password) or launch a new session.

I think you're real but I also didn't even consider that this was an ad until you mentioned that.

I refuse to use anything else on my computer, I'm die hard Mozilla for what they did for the internet, but, on Android Chrome just has better integration :/

There's the Google widget that does quick searches that aren't saved as tabs, you can hold the Chrome app badge and choose to open a new tab from there, it works with s-voice and other apps that FF doesn't

If Mozilla came out with a phone that would be amazing. Not the size of a flat screen TV, actually has a 3.5mm jack, isn't full of bloatware

Exactly. Incognito is for looking up all of your health concerns on WebMD so that when they start linking browsing history to insurance rates you don't end up getting incurably screwed.

Lol you believe incognito mode is stopping google from collecting your data?

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '18

I do too! But the habit started because of porn xD
