Privacy-Centric Chromium Fork Development
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
I’m looking for an engineer with proven Chromium or browser-level experience to create a fork that combines stronger privacy and security with a fresh, lightweight interface.
Core objectives
• Bake in ad blocking, tracker blocking, and a secure-browsing layer right at the engine level—no external extensions.
• Add a clean, custom UI: simplified toolbar, branded color palette, and a dedicated privacy dashboard as we design.
• Keep launch speed and page rendering at or above current Chrome performance.
_ add two native custom button that open a specific sidebar on the right
- tunnel proxy cdp connection, to expose on the web the 9222 port.
- auto update via s3 for beta and stabile Channel
- The system must be easily upgradable, and working with patches, not hardcoded.
- Build for Mac, Linux, Windows
What I expect at this stage
1. A working build for at least one desktop platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux) plus reproducible build instructions.
2. Source code hosted in a private Git repo, clearly structured so future contributors can follow your changes.
3. A brief technical report explaining the main patches, the privacy modules you integrated, and how the new UI components are wired in.
Please include examples of past work on Chromium forks, browser plugins, or similar C++/Blink projects—code samples or live binaries earn extra points. I’m aiming for an initial, full-featured prototype; if it meets expectations, we can discuss an ongoing maintenance contract for updates and mobile ports.
