This is my personal build of lariza. I have changed some keybindings and added
a couple features to fit my needs:
- Search engine functionality [Ctrl+S]
- File chooser for downloads
- Permission handling dialogues
- Cookie support
The manual pages have been updated to reflect all of these changes.

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. :-)
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.
