Creating my own web browser

A 16-year-old student, Pahal Desai, says he is building Neovex, an open-source browser based on Chromium.

The browser aims for a cleaner interface, built-in ad blocking, and a study mode designed to reduce distractions.

Desai says the project is also helping him learn C++, Chromium internals, Git, and browser development.

Neovex is intended as a lightweight, performance-focused alternative to browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc.
