FAQ
Why the name Mizu Browser?
The word Mizu (水) translates to "water" in japanese, which makes sense because you are "surfing" the web.
Why is the tab bar not located at the very top like in most popular browsers?
It's a limitation of the tab widget (QTabWidget) the browser is using to let the user and program manage the individual browser tabs. It is not possible to seperate the tab bar and the frame which displays the tab's content from a tab widget. They are always connected. The browser would need to adopt a new tab system in order to manage the tab bar and frame as separate widgets.
Why Qt?
The main reason we decided to use the Qt Framework to build the interface is due to the compatibility across multiple operating systems and the customisability. We were unimpressed by other GUI libraries due to their lack of customization, such as the inbuilt tkinter library.
