- About the name
+How is chorizo related to lariza?
- "lariza" stems from a german sentence:
+ 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
+ changed from being calendar-based to following the semantic
+ versioning scheme.
- Alle anderen waren mir zu anstrengend.
- l a r i z a
-
- 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.
