Mozilla has released a new content blocker for the iPhone and iPad, continuing its push to provide users with privacy options for their Web browsing.</p><p>
Called Focus by Firefox, the app released Tuesday works a lot like other blockers for Apple’s mobile platform: users download the app from the App Store, and open it to select the sort of content they want to block. After that, they just enable it as a content blocker in their phone or tablet's settings.</p><p>
Focus allows users to block several different types of code that track their behavior across websites, including ad trackers, analytics trackers and social trackers.  The app will block the same content as Firefox's Private Browsing with Tracking Protection feature on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3012973/browsers/surprise-mozilla-just-launched-an-ad-blocker-for-ios.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
