Cốc Cốc browser (previously Cờ Rôm+) is a freeware web browser focused on the Vietnamese market, developed by Vietnamese company Cốc Cốc and based on Chromium open source code, which is the same platform used by Google Chrome, Opera, and Comodo Dragon. Cốc Cốc is available for the Windows, Windows Phone and the OSX operating systems and supports both English and Vietnamese.

Cốc Cốc is among the five most popular browsers in Vietnam, according to data from StatCounter. A majority of the features found in Cốc Cốc, as well as its quality and stability, are similar to Google Chrome's. Significantly, Cốc Cốc also contains functionality that is useful to Vietnamese users: automatic typing aid, faster downloads, ability to bypass DNS blocking and to download audio and video from popular sites, and integrated English-Vietnamese dictionary and spell-checking. Another included feature, less common in popular browsers, is the support for the BitTorrent protocol via the download user interface. According to Vn Review, a software technical review website, these tailored features add more value that put Cốc Cốc on the map and differentiate Cốc Cốc from other Chromium-based browsers.

The first version of the browser was presented under the brandname Cờ Rôm+ on 4 December 2012. At that time, the interface of Cốc Cốc was similar to that of Google Chrome, but the browser had already integrated two features: the ability to download files to multiple streams and storage of media content

The browser was officially submitted five months later 14 May 2013. with two new features introduced: automatic typing aid and bypassing DNS blocking. To date, the developer group has published 6 additional features.

Two months after official release, the number of Cốc Cốc users in Vietnam surpassed Opera and later outperformed Safari and Internet Explorer.

On 2 April 2014, Cờ Rôm+ was officially re-branded as the Cốc Cốc browser, with a new browser icon design released, to unify the company's brands under that name: Cốc Cốc Search Engine, Cốc Cốc browser and Nhà Nhà mobile app.
