The government has been continuously working towards making the country self-reliant in all aspects. Another initiative that marks the extension of this vision is the Development of web browsers. This will help the country to keep the data of the country safe.
Web browser development is a challenge for the country that has received a financial grant of Rs. 3Crore. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology will monitor the development process.
Because India has the world’s fastest-growing economy, the moment has come to abandon the worldwide browser and lessen reliance on foreign technologies. The Atmanirbhar web browser will meet all international compliances and aid in protecting personal data.
The web browser will compete with the leading ones like Google, Mozilla Firefox, etc. According to the data collected from sources, the country’s massive users of the internet are around 850 million, out of which 88.5% are clearly Google users. Hence the launch of the Indian web browser is expected till 2024.
