## What it is
A collection of Android libraries (in Kotlin) for building browsers or browser-like applications, published via Maven. The project has moved to mozilla-mobile/firefox-android and was archived in June 2024 as development migrated to Mozilla Central.

## Use cases
- build a custom Android browser app
- embed a web engine in an Android app
- add browser tabs and session management to an Android app
- build a privacy-focused mobile browser
- reuse Mozilla's Android browser components in my app

## When to choose
- building a browser or browser-like Android app on Kotlin
- you need GeckoView-based web rendering with Mozilla tooling
- you want modular, reusable browser building blocks

## When to avoid
- starting a new project today - use the successor firefox-android / Mozilla Central codebase
- you need an actively maintained library with recent releases
- you are not targeting Android

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, http-client, web-framework
- domain: mobile-development, web-development, developer-tools
