There's no actual information about the browser, but given a quick scan shows that it pulls in PyQt I assume its just a wrapper around a qtwebview?

[edit: looked at the actual sources and yes it is just a qtwebview]

Naming it after something known for its slow speed is an odd choice.

Do you want an open-source web browser with extensive customization capabilities? Well then Glacier Browser is perfect for you! We are fully open source (GPL) and if you can't customize something, just make an issue and we will let you customize it in the next update!

What I wished browsers on Android would do is scroll pages with volume buttons and close pages on double tap or some combination similar to screenshot ring.
