Aero Browser

A Chromium-based privacy browser. No ads. No crypto. No telemetry. Fingerprint resistance on by default. Built by one 14-year-old kernel contributor from Hyderabad, growing into a small founding team.

Status

Founding phase. v0.1 targets a working Linux build with Google telemetry stripped, uBlock Origin built in, and DNS-over-HTTPS enabled by default.

Maintainer on exam break: Sept 28 – Oct 9, 2026. Issues and PRs will be triaged starting Oct 10. The project is not abandoned.

What Aero is

A fork of ungoogled-chromium with a minimal patch stack, built around three principles:

  • Zero ads. Not "acceptable ads," not "replaced ads," not "partner ads." Zero.
  • Zero telemetry. No analytics, no crash reporting, no usage pings. Verifiable.
  • Zero compromise. No crypto wallet, no VPN upsell, no affiliate links, no AI assistant that phones home.

What Aero is not

  • Not a Brave clone. Brave is a company with investors and a crypto business model. Aero is a project with no business model.
  • Not Tor Browser. Tor is for high-risk anonymity. Aero is for everyday privacy.
  • Not finished. It's barely started. Be patient.

Founding lanes

1. Build & CI [open] Recruiting
2. Chromium core patches [open] Recruiting

Lane 6 (packaging) and Lane 7 (upstream sync) are deferred until v0.1 ships.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. Bug fixes and docs go straight to PR. New features need an issue first. Async-first — this project is maintained around a school schedule.
