Jolla open sources its Sailfish browser Jolla has announced that its Sailfish browser has been opened to the development community, with the app now open sourced.
Devs can download the Sailfish Browser code through code depository GitHub, to modify and improve the experience.

Jolla's browser has a foundation in Mozilla's open source Gecko browser engine.

The Jolla smartphone uses the Sailfish OS, which was created by former Nokia employees that had worked on the now defunct MeeGo operating system.

Featuring a 4.5-inch IPS LCD with 540 x 960 resolution (245 ppi), the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, dual-core at 1.4 GHz, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and dual 2MP/8MP cameras.
