Two Nigerian teenage boys, Anesi and Ikhianosime 13 and 15 years old respectively have built a web browser named Crocodile Browser Lite. The browser is built to load faster and serve as an alternative to Google Chrome which takes more time to load.
According to an online media, Urban Intellectuals, the two boys are sons of the same parents. They attend Greensprings school, Anthony Campus, Lagos. Their parents believe in education and technology and raised them with high aspirations in their mind and this has gone a long way to aid their creativity.
The duo began their Tech career at the age of 7 and 9 after being inspired by the Microsoft Windows platform. They decided to form a technology company and named it Blu Doors. Their zeal for self-development led them to start learning coding at age 12 and 14 and were able to build a web browser at 13 and 15. The boys have aspirations to study at MIT in the United States where they feel the educational opportunities, resources and access to technology for the career development would be available.
Crocodile Browser Lite was developed when the kids got tired of waiting for Google Chrome to load on their mobile phones, so they decided to find an alternative by applying their knowledge of coding. Crocodile Browser Lite 3.0 will be available on Google play store very soon. However, other versions of the browser are available in Google Store and already has over 500 downloads.
