The browser market on Android has been severely competitive, although Google Chrome always secures the first place. Popular Android software developers – Cyanogen has been working to bring an all-new Android internet browser which is completely Google-free, yet with the optimization of Chrome. Gello browser on Android has been under development for almost a year now, and it is finally available for users to try out.Note: Since the Gello browser is fresh out of the oven, you can expect some bugs until Cyanogen team releases it officially. Gello is currently supported only by Android devices with Android 6.0 or higher, but devices running 5.1.1 and higher should work as well.
