Is there a real difference between Firefox Focus and Firefox Klar? Is use the latter for a while now (and love it) and wonder if I am missing something. Wikipedia tells me something about "Klar" being used in a german context because of the "focus" magazine ambiguity (which is kinda weird as this magazine didn't have any relevance since forever). Edit: Ah... further reading in the german wikipedia revealed that the publisher of the magazine is partnered with Mozilla making the disambiguation a form of transparency I guess.

Klar is just Focus for German-speaking countries, the name is the only difference. As you note, the name change is due to the eponymous magazine.
Klar also doesn’t send analytics to a third party like Focus does.
