The feature is envisaged as part of a project to develop a national web browser spearheaded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.


On Aug. 9, the ministry announced the launch of the Indian Web Browser Development Challenge, which hopes to “inspire and empower” developers from all corners of the country to create an indigenous web browser with an inbuilt Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) India root certificate.
