-# vimb - the vim like browser
+# Vimb - the Vim-like browser
 
-This is the development branch for the new webkit2 port of vimb. This branch
-does not work and lags a lot of features of the webkit1 version of vimb. So
-this is only meant to be the playground for the developers at the moment.
+Vimb is a Vim-like web browser that is inspired by Pentadactyl and Vimprobable.
+The goal of Vimb is to build a completely keyboard-driven, efficient and
+pleasurable browsing-experience with low memory and CPU usage that is
+intuitive to use for Vim users.
 
-If you like to have a working vimb, please use the master branch.
+More information and some screenshots of Vimb browser in action can be found on
+the project page of [Vimb][].
+
+## Features
+
+- it's modal like Vim
+- Vim like keybindings - assignable for each browser mode

+- history for `ex` commands, search queries, URLs
+- completions for: commands, URLs, bookmarked URLs, variable names of settings, search-queries
+- hinting - marks links, form fields and other clickable elements to
+  be clicked, opened or inspected
+- SSL validation against ca-certificate file

+
+- Gentoo [gentoo-git][], [gentoo][]

+
+## Install
+
+Edit `config.mk` to match your local setup.
+
+Edit `src/config.h` to match your personal preferences.
+
+The default `Makefile` will not overwrite your customised `config.h` with the
+contents of `config.def.h`, even if it was updated in the latest git pull.
+Therefore, you should always compare your customised `config.h` with
+`config.def.h` and make sure you include any changes to the latter in your
+`config.h`.
+
+Run the following commands to compile and install Vimb (if necessary, the last one as
+root).
+
+    make
+    make install
