CyanogenMod teases new Gello browser

Yesterday a member of the CyanogenMod team teased Google+ followers with news that a new mobile browser is close to being released by the team. Named Gello, the browser is based on Chromium open-source code and Joey Rizzoli says the new browser will be open-sourced as well. There are a lot of third-party browsers out there, but developing their own means CyanogenMod could provide their own alternative to Chrome in their ROMs as well as on devices from Cyanogen or their partners.

The new Gello browser appears to come with a healthy helping of customizations and features. If these features make it to the official release, users will be able to control items like tab animations, site-level privacy and security, rename downloaded files and select where they are saved to, and save sites for offline reading. The Gello browser also appears to have a night mode and an immersive mode. Gello may have an ad blocker built in as well.

There is no official release date and apparently Gello will only be able to work on newer, more powerful mobile devices. You can check out a video demonstrating the new browser below.
