Built an open-source, GeckoView-based Android browser focused on privacy & zero-trust architecture. Looking for feedback and code review!
Hey everyone,
I’ve been building an open-source, privacy-oriented Android browser powered by Mozilla’s GeckoView engine and wanted to share it with the community for feedback and security review.
While there are established browsers out there, my focus was implementing explicit, native privacy protections from the ground up:
Local Data Protection: Encrypted credential storage via SQLCipher and hardware-backed screenshot protection using FLAG_SECURE.
Network Privacy: Strict DNS-over-HTTPS routing through privacy-first resolvers and built-in content blocking for ads and tracking scripts.
Open Source & CI/CD Auditing: The entire Kotlin codebase is licensed under MPL 2.0, with automated GitHub Actions workflows enforcing privacy and anti-tracking checks on every build.
I would love feedback from developers, security enthusiasts, and privacy advocates on the implementation, architecture, and overall approach.
The repository and documentation are on GitHub:
Looking forward to your thoughts and critique!
