I’ll gladly move on to a site where “Snidley Whiplash” CHG_CANON doesn’t reside. (Looking down on anyone he, CHG_CANON, perceives as less knowledgeable than he, with a poke or two as to their stupidity)
I can’t read this crap when a community condones this snidely whiplash underhandidness if superior thinking!)

This is for those new to BBF: Instructions on how to set it up should be in your manual. I have a Canon Rebel t2i, vintage 2013, and easily found the instructions in the index. Easy to set up, easy to undo if it's not for you.

I don't think you really meant that everything's in focus?
For me AF using my fantasmagorical GX8 does it all - single point and half button focus lock gives complete control with accuracy, speed and ease.

I am embarrassed to have to ask, but at 74 yrs old, and shooting since the 5th grade, I have not seen or heard the term 'BBF' or 'FBF', so would someone complete my embarrassment by defining these terms, please? - (seems as the 'F' part may have something to do with 'Focusing'?)
The simple explanation is that you will be using a separate button to do the focusing from the shutter release. The shutter release will be JUST that....the shutter release. So let's say that you have a subject that wish to be in focus but you want to put him/her/whatever in a different part of the shot. You can use the back button (a button that you select to do the focusing) to focus and release it. Then you can reframe the shot without having to be continually focusing and then moving the subject around in the frame. Because on your first shot you established the focus and it will be remaining the same until you push the button again. Does that make sense??
Once you get used to focusing this way you won't think about going back to the shutter release.

I wouldn't go that far, Paul. In this case ingnorance (and I mean that in a nice way) is NOT bliss.

Gotcha. We have to know what works with our own gear, don't we?

I use it set to aps c so I have continuous tracking and focus when I keep the button pressed and when I let it go I can recompose if I want. Kind of like having instant access to 2 focus modes with 1 button

I have a Nikon D7100 and wear glasses too so I use the function button to focus, it's on the lower right side of the lens. I find it quite easy to use.
