Hey everyone! I am Pahal Desai, a 16 year old student who is trying to create my own open-source Chromium-based web browser called Neovex. I am a beginner in C++, and to be honest, a few weeks ago I had almost no idea how browser development actually worked.
So why am I building a browser when there are already Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and many others?
I kept asking myself a simple question: what if a browser felt more lightweight, cleaner and more focused while still keeping the power of Chromium?
That question slowly turned into Neovex.
Neovex is currently focused on things like:
- A cleaner UI
- Built-in ad blocking
- Built-in Study mode to avoid distractions
- Performance improvements
- A more minimal browsing experience
I have a mixed kinda experience creating this browser some times it works and some times the build breaks. Moreover, there a some hardware limitations too...I am building it on a ~10 year old pc.
But I believe that's a part of learning
I'm still very early in this journey, and I'm learning C++, Chromium internals, Git, and browser development as I go.
If you're a developer, student, or just curious about browser development, feel free to follow along.
