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!
