The worldly new browser app for hiding your sin? Overreacting but worth mentioning?

[Mustard Socks]

Go ahead, search all the embarrassing things you want. The new Firefox Focus doesn’t remember your history. Get it on iPhone.

I open the homepage on my browser and that's the first thing I see below the search box.

I listen to Family Talk radio when running errands. Every now and then there's an advertisement that talks about healing addictions. This one guy opens one of those ad spots by saying, one day someone saw something on his computer that he'd been hiding for years.
One is to presume it's porn he's referring to. Now this new Focus app makes even that something to hide on your phone.

What's next? Text the antichrist?

Kidding.
Sort of.

I like my history being remembered. It's come in handy a few times. But I can see how someone caught up in going places on the net where this browser could be attractive because it has no tales to tell. OTOH, I like duckduckgo.com because it doesn't gather my search data. Google.com does collect data on your searches and that information shows up as ads. I'm not sure if a browser history can collect the data and share it with advertisers. It probably does. Maybe that's the idea behind it. Avoiding getting hit with ads. With any good idea, there will be draw backs.

An ad block would be a good thing. I don't have a smart phone so I don't know how that works.
This though sounds like ,if a husband cruises porn sites, or dating sites, they can hide any traces.
I like Duck Duck Go too.

For writers, hiding history at times is useful. If my mother knew I googled tons of questions about pregnancy, what do you think her reaction would be? In reality I was just googling the questions because I was writing and the character I was writing was finding out she was pregnant.

my browser has an ad block built in. I can disable it per site.

My browser doesn't. I have to seek out the ad-on in order to install such a thing. Then I can disable it at will but it is still an accessory.

There's a difference between privacy and hiding something that may otherwise be illegal, immoral, unethical.

Why are we automatically assuming that people are searching for illegal, immoral, and unethical things? And what business is it of yours, regardless?

if someone is looking up bank info in his phone an its stolen im sure its not as easy to steal the info if the history of searching is gone

Most browsers have a "private window" function or something of that sort anyway, not to mention one can delete the entire history or specific things within the history.
