+Background information
+----------------------
+ What lariza is and what it's not
-Using zea with tabbed
-====================
+ 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. :-)
-The order of arguments for zea doesn't matter. This means you can run it
-like this:
+ 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.
- $ tabbed -c ./zea file:///home/hans/bookmarks.html -z 0.8 -e
-Each new tab will then show your bookmarks and is scaled by a factor of
-0.8.
+ About the name
+ "lariza" stems from a german sentence:
-Literature
-==========
+ Alle anderen waren mir zu anstrengend.
+ l a r i z a
-API references:
+ 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.

+ So, I wrote my own browser^W WebKit GUI. WebKit does all the dirty
+ work.
