Firefox has has said it's launching "Focus" which is a free content blocker for users of Safari on iOS. It seems it gives users greater control over privacy through options to block trackers, and to improve mobile performance by reducing data usage through web fonts.

Users can download and install Focus by Firefox from the App Store, and once it is installed, launching the app will provide a guide to finish configuration. Focus by Firefox will block the same trackers that are blocked by Private Browsing with Tracking Protection in Firefox for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, based on Disconnect’s open source blocklist.

Currently, Focus by Firefox only works with Safari, not Firefox for iOS. Firefox Content Blocker, "Focus," for Safari on iOS [blog.mozilla.org]
