A new release of the mobile web browser has been released.
After one year of intensive development, a new release of the CENO 2.1.0 mobile web was released, designed to access information on the network that is inaccessible due to crashes or hackers.
The browser is based on the GeckoView engine used in Firefox for Android, supplemented by the function of data exchange through a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network. This feature allows users to participate in redirecting data to external gateways, which ensures continuous access to information. The project was developed under the MIT license and is available for download on Google Play.
The Ouinet library, which is responsible for P2P functionality, can be embedded in any application. Thanks to CENO technology and the Ouinet library, network access is preserved even if the Internet is disconnected, allowing content to be distributed from local caches or storage devices.
The caching system in the CENO browser involves storing content on users ' devices and supporting a decentralized cache for resources. When a user visits the site, the downloaded content is cached and made available to other network members who cannot access the site directly. Pages in the cache are identified by the hash sum of the URL, and all related resources, such as images, scripts, and styles, are combined and passed together.
Special proxy gateways (injectors) placed in the accessible part of the network are used to access resources during failures. All data transmitted between the client and the gateway is encrypted using public keys. Digital signatures are used to identify and protect gateways from tampering.
The browser first tries to access the sites directly, and if this fails, it searches for the necessary information in the P2P cache. If the URL is not cached, the information is requested through the proxy gateway. Confidential data, such as cookies, are not stored in the cache. We recommend using private mode for them.
