On Android I browse by default with Firefox Focus and only to use sessions like posting this response I copy the URL to chrome and make the post. Than I'll go back to Focus. It's crude but Firefox Focus beats all browsers privacy and responsiveness on Android imo.

Once I started using Firefox Focus, I was surprised at just how much of my browsing didn't need to be logged in. I don't need to keep session state when I'm just reading Wikipedia, news sites, or blogs.

Same, Focus is great. Also a very warm mention for what I think became one of my favourite features while browsing - one single tab.

Same. My one wish for Focus is that I could open another tab. Even just one more tab during an active session would make life easier.

You can open more than one tab with Focus. I did it accedentally a few times. The bin action button changes to a number if you have more than one tab open.

you can, hold the link and click open in a new tab

TIL that yes, that's true, but only on Android. iOS only lets you Open, which uses the same window.

+1 for Focus, but I don't generally interact with HN through a browser on mobile. There's an app for that.

I think apps can track your hardware I'd. I'm not saying hn does that, but other apps might track you even better with an app.
