How Fast is HuBrowser?
- Based on the Chromium engine, a fast baseline
- Google has optimized it for years, with diminishing improvements recently
- Carefully removed tracking:
- Behavioral tracking, sentiment analysis, shopping logs, etc.
- Carefully removed bloat:
- Compatibility support for obsolete devices
- Disabled enterprise features
- Pure 64-bit build
- All phones now are 64-bit
- Basic sensible ad blocking
- Not too aggressive to ensure a net speed boost and avoid breakage
- Removed debugging code
- Unconventional since now crashes are unreported and cannot establish the exact context of errors, but does speed things up without logging stack traces
- Please reach out if you experience a crash
- Rewrote critical components in more efficient languages
- JavaScript β Java β C++
- Added memory, power, and lifecycle management to the Android browser
- Holistic project management
- Large tech projects like browsers typically divide work into hundreds of components, and each developer becomes specialized in a specific component
- HuBrowser is able to look at the project holistically and make meaningful connections and structures that span across components
