It is just about unheard of in the current tech landscape to see a company building an entirely new web browser from scratch. There are exceptions, one of which is a UK-based company called Ekioh, which is building a web browser called Flow. What is even more interesting is that it was built on Googleâs Chromium of Appleâs WebKit.
Going With the Flow
Ekioh is not a new company. It was created in 2006 by Piers Wombwell, who has now over 25 yearsâ experience in the software industry. A lot of that experience has been in embedded software design and implementation, mostly in the field of user interface engines on TV. Its previous work also included CPU simulators (Firepath) and porting the Java VM to the Oracle Network Computer.
