Amazing! Two Nigerian Teenage Brothers Design A Mobile Browser



Anesi is 13 and Osine Ikhianosime is 15 years old, they are students of Greensprings school, Anthony Campus, Lagos. They developed an Android based web browser called Crocodile Browser Lite sometime last year.




This web browser is actually on the Google Play Store. Speaking to TechCabal.com, Osine said he writes the code with his brother, for their creations and his brother also designs the UI.
Surprisingly, these genius are just like every other teenage boy but not quite at the same time. Osine likes to play soccer, but also takes coding as a hobby – which is not something every 13 year old boy does.
His interest in computers began at the age of 7, the same age which he and his brother –who was 9 at the time, decided to start a company of their own. Inspired by Microsoft’s “Windows” platform, they initially named their new company ‘Doors’, but later changed the name to ‘BluDoors’ when they found out that the initial name had been taken.

According to both brothers, they started developing an Android based web browser, which they named Crocodile Browser Lite, about a year ago, out of boredom. Their strong interest in technology, coupled with their desire to learn, informed the decision to create a functional, fast browser for low end feature phones.
The brothers launched their browser on the Mobango app before taking it onto the Google Play Store so they could reach a wider audience. Their browser currently has around 500 downloads, but no ads yet.
The brothers plan to release a new version of their browser, Crocodile Browser Lite 3.0 soon.
