According to Cointelegraph, on August 9, 2023, MeiTY introduced the Indian web browser Development Challenge. From what itās understood, MeiTY aims to āinspire and empowerā country-based developers to develop a web browser using CCA India root certificate. āProposed browser would also focus on accessibility and user friendliness, ensuring built-in support for individuals with diverse abilities,ā a release stated.
Based on Cointelegraphās data, the event will comprise three rounds. Post the first round, thereāll be 18 participants followed by eight after the second round.
