Chrome is definitely one of the best web browsers on Android, but CyanogenMod has a new Chromium-based browser that it thinks will appeal to users who want the power of Chromium without having to use Chrome itself. Known as Gello, this new mobile web browser has the same customization options and privacy settings that the guys at Cyanogen are known for.

If Chrome isn’t doing it for you, there may soon be another option for browsing the web on your Android device. The team behind the Android split-off CyanogenMod showed off Gello, which features multiple customization options and privacy settings for those who like to tinker. Based off open-source Chromium, it’s still a work in progress. And Cyanogen hasn’t shared whether it will only work on devices powered by its operating system variant or if it will end up in the Play Store. The above video gives you a pretty good idea, however, of how it will look and perform. It appears Cyanogen head Kirt McMaster is trying to dial back some of his more flamboyant comments about Google (he said the goal was to “put a bullet in Google’s head”).
