It includes the Mozilla Web Platform via GeckoView, a new modern Firefox Accounts and Cloud Sync implementation and the new "Glean" telemetry library. All these components will be foundational for Mozilla's existing and upcoming Android products.

The Reference Browser can also be a starting point for your own new browser-like applications. It depends heavily on the [Android Components](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components) project where most of the actual implementation lives. That project also includes many smaller sample applications.

**Will Reference Browser move to mozilla-central?**

Reference Browser is meant to be a reference implementation of the Android Components project. Having it live outside of the mozilla source-tree lets us:

1. See how core browsing APIs work for browser-based projects outside of Firefox.
2. Have a developer playground to try experimental APIs in a safe way that involves a full build, signing, and publishing process.
3. Validates that our [maven](https://nightly.maven.mozilla.org) [repositories](https://maven.mozilla.org) and Google Play publishing infrastructure is still functioning - if we no longer receive maven artifacts or Google Play builds are not working, we would know that there is something systematically wrong with these processes.
