-zea is a minimalistic web browser using Gtk2, GLib and WebKit. "Zeig's

+"lariza" stems from a german sentence:

+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.

+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.
+
+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 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 website 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.

+Using lariza with tabbed
+========================
+
+The order of arguments for lariza doesn't matter. This means you can run
+it like this:
+
+ $ tabbed -c lariza 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.
-If "-e" is not specified, zea will launch tabbed automatically. Note

that you can't use tabbed's "Ctrl+Shift+Enter" hotkey to open a new tab

-nothing about zea). However, due to zea's cooperative instances, you can
-simply start zea a second time and it will create a new tab.
