A pair of Nigerian teenagers have created a brand new mobile browser which rivals google chrome in speed
15 year-old Osine Ikhianosime and his 13 year-old brother Anesi created the Crocodile browser after becoming fed up of how slow Google Chrome was on their mobile phones. Using the coding skills they self-learnt using websites such as code academy and Code Avenger and books such as Android for Game Development, the dynamic duo set about creating the browser that suited their needs.
Under their tech company, which they thought of when they were just 7 and 9 years old, the pair will launch the Crocodile Browser 3.0 in the google chrome store later this year. The current version already has more than 500 downloads.
“We were fed up with Google Chrome.” Osine told TechCabal in his pitch.
‘I write the code, my brother designs it,” Anesi added. “I started in 2013. I used sites like Code Academy, Code Avengers and books like ‘Android for Game Development’ and ‘Games for Dummies.’”
The teenagers first decided that they wanted to work in technology when they were very young, and set up their own tech company Blu Door.
In the future they hope to attend MIT.
Their mother, Mrs. Ngozi Ikhianosime, a math teacher, said, “Oseni could use a PC before he could read, at age 3.”
