+xombrero
+========
+
+xombrero is a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security
+features designed-in, rather than through an add-on after-the-fact. In
+particular, it provides both persistent and per-session controls for
+scripts and cookies, making it easy to thwart tracking and scripting
+attacks.  In additional to providing a familiar mouse-based interface
+like other web browsers, it offers a set of vi-like keyboard commands
+for users who prefer to keep their hands on their keyboard.  The default
+settings provide a secure environment. With simple keyboard commands,
+the user can "whitelist" specific sites, allowing cookies and scripts
+from those sites.
+
+## GPG Verification Key
+
+All official release tags are signed by Conformal so users can ensure the code
+has not been tampered with and is coming from Conformal.  To verify the
+signature perform the following:
+
+- Download the public key from the Conformal website at
+  https://opensource.conformal.com/GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
+
+- Import the public key into your GPG keyring:
+  ```bash
+  gpg --import GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
+  ```
+
+- Verify the release tag with the following command where `TAG_NAME` is a
+  placeholder for the specific tag:
+  ```bash
+  git tag -v TAG_NAME
+  ```
