MEET THE TWO NIGERIAN BROTHERS WHO DESIGNED A MOBILE WEB BROWSER

Two brothers, 13-year-old Osine and 15-year-old Anesi Ikhianosime, both students of Greensprings School, Lagos, have developed their own browser known as Crocodile Browser Lite. The siblings built the mobile web browser after they got tired of using browsers like Google Chrome. 

The Crocodile Browser Lite is believed to be faster than more conventional browsers. It is very functional and can be supported on lower-end phones common across Africa. The browser is currently available on the Google Play Store and has so far received 40,000 downloads. .  

Anesi and Osine began their coding journey with the encouragement of both their parents who introduced them to computers as early as the age of three. Anesi and Osine taught themselves how to code when they were 12 and 14-years-old respectively using free online resources and reading books.

The brothers say their goal is to create IT and mobile solutions for social problems that affect people not just in Africa but in developing countries around the world.
