Today we're launching aeonbrowser.dev — the official developer documentation hub for Aeon Browser. This site will serve as the central resource for everything technical about Aeon: architecture documentation, API references, build guides, and engineering deep-dives.
Why a Dedicated Dev Site?
Aeon Browser isn't a simple Chromium reskin. We're building a privacy-first, AI-native browser with a custom engine architecture. That level of ambition requires comprehensive, well-organized documentation — not just for external contributors, but for our own development velocity.
browseaeon.com remains our product-facing site (downloads, features, marketing). aeonbrowser.dev is for developers — the people who want to understand how Aeon works, contribute to the codebase, or build extensions for the platform.
What's Here
- Architecture docs covering the Aeon Engine, browser shell, and Chromium integration layer
- Build guides for getting Aeon compiling from source on Windows
- API reference (coming soon) for the extensions API and engine interfaces
- This dev blog for engineering updates, release notes, and technical deep-dives
The Tech Stack
This site is built with Docusaurus 3 and deployed to Firebase Hosting. It's part of the Aeon monorepo, making it easy to keep docs in sync with code changes.
What's Next
We'll be publishing regular engineering updates here as we reach key milestones:
- Engine Integration — Wiring the C++ browser shell to
aeon_engine.dll
- Privacy Engine — Built-in ad blocking and tracker prevention
- AI Bridge — Gemini integration for intelligent browsing features
- Extensions API — Manifest V3 compatibility layer with Aeon-specific extensions
