The Malaysian company introduced a new web browser. The name of this browser is 'SalamWeb'. The company is claiming this browser as a Muslim-friendly browser.
This new browser is called 'Halal Internet'! This browser is mainly composed of Islamic values. The company has challenged that this new browser will work great amid various fears including violation of personal privacy online.
According to media reports, this new Salamweb browser can be used on mobile and desktop computers. Hasni Zarina Mohammad Khan, managing director of Salam Web Technologies, the maker of this new browser, said it includes news, messages and other features. Basically, its customers will get more content based on Malaysia and Indonesia. He also said that the target of getting 10 percent of the world's 1.8 billion Muslim population as customers has been fixed. While creating this browser, they have faced criticism from giant companies like Facebook and Google. International human rights organization Amnesty International has also criticized their new initiative.
In this regard, Hasni Zarina Mohammad Khan said, their aim is to highlight the internet platform as a good place. "We know there is content on the Internet, both good and bad," he said. We have tried to make our browser in such a way that people only get good content.' He also said, this browser will do content filtering. The customer will be warned if they try to enter a pornography or gambling website. In addition, this browser will also have things to inform the time of prayer to make religious practice easier for Muslims!
Hasni Zarina Mohammad Khan, managing director of Salam Web Technologies, said, "Although we have created this new browser targeting Muslims, our aim is to promote universal values." So anyone can use it. The internet is becoming more harmful by the day - so we needed an alternative, we are trying to make it acceptable to consumers.'
