Firefox Focus' Tracking Protection blocks trackers that follow you across multiple websites.

How I know when a website has trackers?

When Firefox Focus is actively blocking trackers, it will show a shield in the address bar and the number of trackers blocked on that page:

If the shield has a line through it tracking protection off, the web page has trackers but Tracking Protection is off (Firefox Focus is not blocking them).

Turn Tracking Protection off or on

  1. Tap the shield in the address bar to open the Tracking Protection panel.
  2. Tap the switch next to Tracking Protection to turn it off or on (Blue switchonios means it's on).

If you turn Tracking Protection off, it will remain off until you close Firefox Focus.

View the types of trackers on a page

Tap the shield to open the Tracking Protection panel. The panel will tell you what kind of trackers are on that page: Ad trackers, analytics trackers, social trackers or content trackers.
