Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GlassBrowser at 5.0 against Browser's 4.4. GlassBrowser also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Browser's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
