FOSS replacement for Firefox Focus? (monero.town)

Title. I use Firefox Focus because it's easy to clear history by just hitting the Delete button and it saves very little to no information on app exit. I know the Duck Duck Go privacy browser does this as well, but it's more of a full-fledged browser with bookmarks and everything else. Where I'm just looking for something super lightweight and quick.

I cant get focus on github anymore like i was. That's the primary issue.

because Mozilla moved the builds to their own repository instead of relying on Github.

Ah, that makes sense. Were you using Obtainium or just manually grabbing updates manually? FFUpdater can help you keep up to date, and here's the folder of released apks. I know this messes with you workflow, but IMHO, it's probably better to keep with the browser you like. However, if you decide to try an alternative, all the best of luck!
