focus-android VS Cryptomator

Please report bugs directly to the Firefox Focus developers.

Since you use Firefox Focus, please report this to its developers. Maybe they can do something about it.

Not the only one who has noticed it: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/6101

The only Mozilla-backed browser that doesn't have trackers or telemetry enabled by default is Klar (Play Store, Github) because they have to comply with Germany's, Austria's and Switzerland's laws.

I filed https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/6888 for this. Feel free to chime in over there if you want to add a "me too" to the comments.

Found an old one, and it looks like they are waiting for Android multitasking features to be implemented.

Focus uses a blacklist of known trackers.

It seems that Fenix will support HTTPS only mode in very near future. At least, HTTPS only mode for Firefox Focus is actively developing. https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/pull/5988

I think this is https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/5101

Filing on Bugzilla for the android browsers gets a delayed response and follow up. It's better to go directly to the Github repo.

the best way to do this is with https://cryptomator.org

Before putting anything on a cloud service I would recommend 3rd party tools, like Cryptomator, to encrypt folders and such, then upload to a cloud service.

I use Cryptomator - https://cryptomator.org

I've used countless encryption "schemes" over the years, from True/Vera-Crypt to encrypted sparse bundles/images, and none have ever really felt right.

These days i tend to use Cryptomator[0] instead. It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.

With Cryptomator, i simply create a vault somewhere in the cloud, stuff data in it, and i can access it from my laptop, phone or tablet, and not think much about it. It integrates into the normal file browsing APIs, and doesn't get in the way.

Because it does "per file" encryption, it also doesn't need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it's rather fast (depending on file size of course).

Cryptomator's arguably the most popular encryption software for cloud storage (you can give yourself zero-knowledge encryption by using them) - it's actually what they specialize & focus on (cloud encryption). It's 100% open source and Free to use on computers. On phones I believe it's just a 1-time fee of a few bucks ($13-14, then you have it forever) - note: their iOS offering is still new, so may be a bit unpolished at the moment.

This is the solution: https://cryptomator.org/

Cryptomator. It is made for uploading files securely to cloud storage, but works locally, is easy to use, and completely free for your use case.
