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.

AFAIK, Focus is FOSS. If that's correct, can you confirm that your issue is:

Builds aren't released on F-Droid, and you don't want to use the Play Store. Would FFUpdater fit your purpose?
You want an alternate to Firefox Focus which is also FOSS. Could you let us know what deficiencies an alternate would correct?
Something else?

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.
