Lol + okay. My space bar is fine. I just found it more fitting without it. Henceforth I’ll be using this word for news like this.
I like how with every reply lol okay got turned into 3 diff words,
Lolokay, Lolokey, Lol Key.
Needed a /s considering a lot of literal comments about every new government initiative becoming transformative.
We are one step away from Lolita.
Doubtful about its popularity , because people know its to track who is tweeting or voicing opinions against govt…lol
It’s built on Chromium, just like Brave, Arc, Chrome, and Edge - that is, basically a wrapper on Chromium. Not sure how to feel about this. Google will likely still collect analytics anyway since they built the core engine & chromium too. Maybe Ulaa took measures to block that, but I wouldn’t be too confident.
It runs on open-source Chromium but isn’t open-source itself, so what it shares and does with your data is entirely up to them. I could be wrong, but a “privacy-focused” browser that isn’t open-source feels kinda fishy.
I don’t think it works like that. The analytical part is proprietary and is included with chrome only.
Not sure about that maybe you are right & it might be true, but then again, it still sends device info and cookies. Even if there were an option to block Google from receiving that data, how can we be sure they actually did? There’s UnGoogled* *Chromium, but Ulaa isn’t open-source, so there’s no way to verify.
(I did read that since they don’t rely on an ad-based model, so they don’t share analytics with Google, but who knows?)
Not that I am trying to say its bad, it’s in fact a great initiative but just that privacy thing
weatsmile: [maybe they might open-source it in future, who knows?]
Excellent idea! The default browser for all central government… Private entities will take over security updates, costing the Modi government Rs. 0.:cigar:
Will it go koo way ?, only time will tell.
Lol Crazy
Ulla looks more like vivaldi , ping-browser is brave
Im all for it if this is open source.. Otherwise its a useless piece of trash!
Zoho is an Indian SaaS company. You can take a look at their website for offerings.
I thought they are using chromium and building on top of it , but they went a step ahead ![]()
So we are getting jiofox or something?
Yeah, Zoho is very impressive, after I’ve used some of it’s stuff. Is it private? If it goes IPO definitely try to grab some shares…

Did anyone think this was not an elaborate kick-back or connections scheme? Also who is the “judge” that they awarded this team such a huge sum of money.
My thoughts, precisely. Situation is only compounded by the technically inept and corrupt bureaucracy being driven by a credit hungry minister :yuck:
I have no issues with using an open source piece of code with proper attribution, but please don’t try and pass it off as your own and cause second hand embarrassment to a billion people by winning a Govt sponsored hackathon promoting #AtmaNirbharBharat at
:asshat:
What’s even more embarrassing is that the dev team went through multiple rounds with their blatantly copied / forked open source brave repo, while being too lazy or dumb to even bother checking and renaming / rebranding with another open source tool that they could have easily used to mitigate some of the embarrassment -
Even Jian Yang would NOT approve!
