+@node Why
+@unnumbered Why I created it?
+
+@itemize
+
+@item I am tired that various HTTPS clients (like browsers and feed
+aggregators) use TLS libraries with different feature set. NSS, GnuTLS,
+OpenSSL... All of them sucks, comparing to Go's @code{crypto/tls}.
+
+@item I am tired that everyone provides very limited certificates trust
+management capabilities, like either certificate or SPKI
+@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_pinning, pinning} with
+@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_on_first_use, TOFU}. Even my
+beloved @url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xombrero, Xombrero} browser
+still pins only the whole certificate, but its public key would be much
+more sufficient and convenient to work with.
+
+@item I am tired that many clients provides very few information about
+certificates and connections at all.
+
+@item I hate that hardly anyone can control (no automatic silent
+transparent following) HTTP redirections. Although Firefox (I used many
+ears ago) had proper extensions for that.
+
+@item I am sick of tiny control on URLs. The best you can is to use some
+kind of @url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privoxy, Privoxy}, but it is
+not friendly with TLS connections, obviously. Or use yet another
+browser-specific plugin.
+
+@item Xombrero sometimes has problems with HTTP-based authorization.
+
+@item Hardly anyone does
+@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities, DANE}
+checks.
+
+@item And there is insanity of fonts downloading.
+Why the hell people just do not send PostScript documents instead!?
+
+@item And wonderful @url{http://jpegxl.info/, JPEG XL} image format is
+not supported by most browsers. Even pretty old
+@url{https://developers.google.com/speed/webp, WebP}, that has highest
+compression ratio for lossless screenshots, is not supported everywhere,
+especially on old browsers.
+@url{https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/, AVIF} could be useful too.
+
+@item None of web browsers has ability to view web archives
+(@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_ARChive, WARC}s). And most of
+WARC-related software is written on Python, that nowadays is close to be
+impossible to install and use with all its broken dependencies system.
+
+@item And yet another piece of software is needed for browsing the
+@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol), geminispace}?
+Too many bicycles already!
+
+@end itemize
+
+That is why I wrote @command{tofuproxy} -- pure Go HTTP proxy, MitMing
+all HTTPS connections on the fly. It is written for my personal needs
+exclusively, so many features are just directly hard-coded, instead of
+creating some kind of complex configuration framework.
