The creators of the domestic operating system "Aurora" have started working on a browser for mobile devices based on the Chromium code, which is used in most such similar products. This was reported by Kommersant.
The documentation for the fifth version of "Aurora" mentions an experimental browser based on Chromium. In addition, Open Mobile Platform, owned by Rostelecom, has posted a job opening for a browser development engineer for "Aurora" on the hh.ru job search portal.
Currently, the system uses Firefox, which is worse at handling web applications. The cost of creating a new browser is estimated at approximately 15-20 million rubles.
Based on the Firefox browser, the development of most web applications for Russian programs is impossible. They are simply not adapted to this format
According to Altukhov, the cost of creating a browser based on Chromium will take up to six months with the participation of a team of 10-20 people.
