There is no shortage of third-party browsers available on Android. While most of us use Chrome, there are plenty of worthy alternatives and valid reasons to choose them. The CyanogenMod team (notably distinct from, but connected to, the Cyanogen Inc. company) is throwing its hat into this crowded ring. The new project is called Gello, it's based on Chromium's open-source code... and that's about all we know for sure at this point.

However, we can glean a few details from a 14-second teaser trailer posted by CM team member Joey Rizzoli. Based on lightning-quick flashes of the interface and settings screens, you can see a lot of features running on the browser's current build. These may or may not make it to a public release for Cyanogen Inc. hardware, CyanogenMod ROMs, and other users. Notably:

a "save for offline" reading mode

a customized interface, including tab animations and management

Night mode and Immersive mode options

Extensive site-by-site privacy and security settings, including a possible ad blocker

Download settings that allow you to rename files and select file paths

At the moment the CyanogenMod developers are playing coy, though they do suggest that we'll see more information on the Gello browser soon.
