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

How do I know if Tracking Protection is on or off?

When you visit a website, you’ll see a shield in your address bar:

FF-TrackerShield

If the shield has a line through it tracking protection off, it means Tracking Protection is off and not blocking any trackers.

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 switchoffios or on greenswitchfocus.
    • If you turn Tracking Protection off, it will remain off until you tap Erase or close Firefox Focus.

View the types of trackers on a page

Tap the shield to open the Tracking Protection panel:

FF-TrackerPanel

In this panel, you can see the different trackers that Tracking Protection blocks: ad, analytic, social, and content, as well as the number of each kind of tracker on the web page.
