Hey everyone,

I'm Pahal Desai, a 16 year old student who wants to build his own fast and minimalistic browser.

For the past few months I've been working on a Chromium-based browser called Neovex.

What started as curiosity quickly became an obsession. I spent way too many late nights digging through Chromium source code, experimenting with build flags, testing optimizations, breaking everything, fixing it, and doing it all over again.

Today I ran a Speedometer 3.1 comparison between Thorium and Neovex on the same machine and got these results:

- Thorium: 12.1 ± 0.53

- Neovex: 13.3 ± 0.66

Screenshot attached.

Before anyone asks, I want to say that:

- They were tested on the same hardware

- Tested in the same testing environment

- Both are chromium-based browsers

- I'm Not claiming Neovex is the fastest browser in the world

- More testing is planned

Apart from performance, Neovex also focuses on privacy:

- Telemetry is disabled by default

- Browsing history stays on your device

- No collection of browsing activity

I'd genuinely love feedback from people who know browsers better than I do.

What benchmarks should I run next?
