+Qutebrowser is a keyboard-focused browser with a minimal GUI. It's based
+on Python and Qt and free software, licensed under the GPL.
+
+It was inspired by other browsers/addons like dwb and
+Vimperator/Pentadactyl.
+
+This SlackBuild installs all needed dependencies in a virtual
+environment subfolder. This comes with an up-to-date Qt/PyQt including a
+pre-compiled QtWebEngine binary, but has a couple of caveats:
+* It only works on 64-bit x86 systems.
+* It comes with a QtWebEngine compiled without proprietary codec support
+ (such as h.264).
+
+qt6 needed for this script can be built without webengine to speed up
+compilation. If such an option is not available, just replace the line
+tar xvf $CWD/$SRCNAM-$VERSION.tar.xz
+with
+tar xvf $CWD/$SRCNAM-$VERSION.tar.xz --exclude=qtwebengine
+in qt6.SlackBuild.
