Kamezil: Secure and Accessible Browser for Novice Users

This article discusses the development and evaluation of an internet browser specifically designed for users with limited technical experience. The application focuses not only on providing secure and accessible browsing but also incorporates an additional layer of data protection, significantly enhancing the experience for inexperienced users. The integration of advanced technologies, such as the Gaia library, compatibility with protocols and content, along with a permission management system and handling of temporary cookies, ensures a safe and straightforward browsing experience. The browser uses Gecko/Trident for rendering and Gonk for the operating system, offering privacy features like the option to avoid recording history or location, which results in high user satisfaction ratings. The browser's effectiveness and utility are reflected in the outstanding ratings obtained in analysis tasks and general usage experience, with evident positive impacts on online security and users' self-esteem. This research confirms the technical and experiential success of the browser, demonstrating its ability to meet its objectives and fulfill the security needs of inexperienced users. The study is complemented by references to academic works and relevant standards in the field of cybersecurity and data protection, reinforcing the browser's value and effectiveness in enhancing security and privacy for users with limited technical skills.

Abstract

This article discusses the development and evaluation of an internet browser specifically designed for users with limited technical experience. The application focuses not only on providing secure and accessible browsing but also incorporates an additional layer of data protection, significantly enhancing the experience for inexperienced users. The integration of advanced technologies, such as the Gaia library, compatibility with protocols and content, along with a permission management system and handling of temporary cookies, ensures a safe and straightforward browsing experience. The browser uses Gecko/Trident for rendering and Gonk for the operating system, offering privacy features like the option to avoid recording history or location, which results in high user satisfaction ratings. The browser's effectiveness and utility are reflected in the outstanding ratings obtained in analysis tasks and general usage experience, with evident positive impacts on online security and users' self-esteem. This research confirms the technical and experiential success of the browser, demonstrating its ability to meet its objectives and fulfill the security needs of inexperienced users. The study is complemented by references to academic works and relevant standards in the field of cybersecurity and data protection, reinforcing the browser's value and effectiveness in enhancing security and privacy for users with limited technical skills.
