-Background information
-----------------------
-
- What lariza is and what it's not
-
- 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. :-)
-
- Especially, it's very likely that lariza will never have a "follow
- mode" like dwb, luakit or others have. I've used these browsers for
- quite some time and I've also used Firefox extensions that add a
- "follow mode". The point is, "follow mode" doesn't work anymore. This
- was a good thing ten years ago. Today, a lot of websites make heavy
- use of JavaScript or hovering. You NEED some kind of pointing device.
- I found using "follow mode" to be very frustrating today, because you
- still have to reach for the mouse all the time. So, you might as well
- just optimize your mousing workflow.
-
- 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.
-
-
- About the name
-
- "lariza" stems from a german sentence:
-
- 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.
+How is chorizo related to lariza?
+---------------------------------
+
+ 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.
+
+ Differences:
+ - New versioning scheme
+ - Revamped download manager
+ - New keybindings
+ - Better default directories
+ - Easily togglable JavaScript
+ - Cleaned up source code
+ - Easy web searching
+ - User stylesheet support
+ - A variety of tweaks and adjustments that make the experience nicer
