The 'App Tracking Protection' aims to increase privacy throughout the entire operating system by blocking third-party tracking scripts in other Android apps installed on the device.

@ecksmc been using this about a year and it blocks a lot. I haven't noticed it, which is part of the goal. 10/10 recommended.

@b4cks4w not sold on it myself i prefer Firefox focus app onj android and Chromebook for privacy concerns

much better inmo more features to use also to use for certain needs

@ecksmc I tried firefox focus too, and regular firefox. Kind of leaned away from mozilla on mobile after the big UI change. I can try them again.

@b4cks4w Firefox for android is one of the better since you can add extensions/addons in the normal firebox android app, as well as brave browser which is chromium that comes with some neat built in security which is pretty good, friefox focus is stripped away with only privacy security settings built in

i use several browsers FF{with a fF addons} FF-focus, brace and chrome so i can sync all my android with my Chromebook using the passphrase encryption method

@b4cks4w never set 1 browser as a default then you get a pop-up after clicking a URL and offers you a choice of browser to pick which is awesome

some browsers work better for certain things imo depends what yer doing
