I could see the new headline "Porn-focused Web Browser 'Firefox Wanker' Launches on App Store".
To avoid a search engine you don't like, it's easy to fix
Just keep a bookmark (Startpage for example) among your favorite and click that one
P.s. Where can you save your bookmarks!!??!
Saving a bookmark works only in Safari, sigh
Firefox Focus is not ready yet and on my iPhone their search engine is Google

How is this different from Private Browsing on Safari?
Also, looks like they just revamped their existing Focus by Firefox app. I already had it downloaded.

Ad and tracker blocking. Also can be used as a content blocker in Safari as well.
I agree, this article could have included more info. For instance, this is not a new app, but a major update of an existing app. It used to be called "Focus," and the icon looked completely different. I was super confused when this "new app" magically appeared on my phone yesterday, until I figured that out.
Not on its own, only if you install and use a content blocker (available as of iOS 9 for 64-bit devices).
Oh, but I have the answer. It involves this one weird trick, that local authorities don't want you to know about...
All those browsers work just fine for most people. And Focus is certainly more than a front end for Firefox (especially since Firefox is its own front end), it's something that allows for ad and tracker blocking and can serve as content blocker for Safari as well.
Most people? I know you're not reading the reviews then... my experience is not unique.
Brave does everything that you would need both Focus + Firefox to do. You don't have to like my choice, nor I yours, but at least try it before telling me you didn't like it.
Nothing in what I said says anything about your "choice", simply a comment on the "spin and spin" part that wa brought up in relation to other browsers (which doesn't invalidate your personal experience with it, and perhaps that of some others, but just basically points out that it isn't anything widespread or anything like that).
