+Background information
+----------------------
-You simply invoke the main program:
+What chorizo is and what it's not
- $ lariza
+ chorizo does what I need. It won't do other things. I'm open for
+ contributions but please don't be upset if I turn them down -- which
+ might happen if it's a feature that I simply don't need.
-Refer to the manpage for all options.
+ chorizo does not compete with powerful browsers like dwb or luakit, nor
+ with monstrous applications like Firefox or Chromium. Because under
+ the hood chorizo is powered by WebKit, however, it is on par with
+ browsers like Safari for page rendering features.
+How is chorizo related to lariza?
-Background information
-----------------------
+ chorizo is a fork of the lariza browser by Peter Hofmann. I wanted
+ to take it in a slightly different direction (mostly just adding
+ features not considered to be in the spirit of lariza), so I forked
+ it. The name was changed in order to reduce confusion between the
+ two browsers as they grew apart. The versioning scheme was also
+ moved away from being calendar-based.
- What lariza is and what it's not
+ Features that this fork has that lariza is missing:
+ - Configuration file
+ - Revamped download manager
+ - New, ergonomic keybindings inspire by both Emacs and Vim
+ - Better default directories
+ - Easily togglable images and JavaScript
+ - Cleaned up source code
+ - Easy web searching
+ - User stylesheet support
+ - A variety of tweaks and adjustments that make the experience nicer
- lariza does what I need. It won't do other things. I'm open for pull
- requests but please don't be upset if I turn them down -- which might
- happen if it's a feature that I simply don't need. That being said,
- you should have a look at the PATCHES file. :-)
+Migrating from another browser
+------------------------------
- lariza does not compete with powerful browsers like dwb or luakit, nor
- with monstrous applications like Firefox or Chromium. lariza won't
- have persistent storage, nor a plugin system, nor cloud sync, nor
- bookmarks.
+From lariza:
+ 1. Copy the relevant paths from ~/.config/lariza to
+ ~/.local/share/chorizo. Read chorizo(1) for full details on the
+ correct paths.
+ 2. Your symlinks from /usr will broken, so you should relink everything.
- About the name
+ 3. Read lariza-config(5), as the keybindings are radically different
+ out of the box. Everything is configurable, however, and you can
+ reconfigure the bindings to act just like your previous browser.
- "lariza" stems from a german sentence:
+From Firefox/Chromium/Brave/etc:
+ 1. Set your expectations right. Read the background information
+ section of the README.
- Alle anderen waren mir zu anstrengend.
- l a r i z a
+ 2. Copy the cookie database into ~/.local/share/lariza/cookies.db.
- That phrase basically means: "It was too tiresome to deal with any
- other browser." I couldn't find a simple browser that does just what I
- need. Most of them are utterly bloated, others lack essential
- functions. Thus, I was forced to write scripts and tools and stuff to
- deal with these issues. That is what was tiresome. I don't want to
- work around bugs or nonsensical behavior anymore.
+ 3. Read all the manpages.
- So, I wrote my own browser^W WebKit GUI. WebKit does all the dirty
- work.
