Get ready to say hello to Gello-a new Android Browser. It’s in the news that CyanogenMod, the developers of Android ROM has exposed that it is working on an open source browser called Gello. Gello is packed with a lot of customization options. The news was trending on Google+ by CyanogenMod’s Joey Rizzoli.

Gello | Video Teaser
Rizzoli’s Response to some cynical post that came for the Video demo:
In his post Rizzoli answers a few questions. Gello doesn’t have an ETA at the moment, but it will be completely open source and others will be welcome to contribute to the project once it goes public.
CyanogenMod Team does not hate Google, this is not a way to steal Google’s work (chromium is opensource) nor me (or any other CM team member) wants you remove chrome from your device. You’ll always be free to choose to install your GApps package alongside with CyanogenMod and replace [sic] all the CyanogenMod apps you don’t like/use with Google’s. Me and all the CM teams uses Google Apps and Services every day. We aren’t “putting a bullet into Google’s head”. We’re just creating an operative system (or ROM of Firmware, whatever you call it).

Gello | Release
There has been no news about the release of the browser. But it has been confirmed that the browser will not be able to run on older and less powerful devices. Rizzoli has stated that Gello is a way to offer users as many options for customization as they like. The developers have suggested that users can keep Chrome on their device, along with all the other apps that Google has to offer. The team has promised to unveil more about Gello in the near future.
