 ## Features
 
 - **Terminal apps just work**: Xterm.js works with most terminal apps such as `bash`, `vim`, and `tmux`, including support for curses-based apps and mouse events.
-- **Performant**: Xterm.js is *really* fast, it even includes a GPU-accelerated renderer.

 ## What xterm.js is not
 
 - Xterm.js is not a terminal application that you can download and use on your computer.
-- Xterm.js is not `bash`. Xterm.js can be connected to processes like `bash` and let you interact with them (provide input, receive output).

 To start using xterm.js on your browser, add the `xterm.js` and `xterm.css` to the head of your HTML page. Then create a `<div id="terminal"></div>` onto which xterm can attach itself. Finally, instantiate the `Terminal` object and then call the `open` function with the DOM object of the `div`.

 ### Addons

 Addons are separate modules that extend the `Terminal` by building on the [xterm.js API](https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/blob/master/typings/xterm.d.ts). To use an addon, you first need to install it in your project:
 
 ```bash
-npm i -S @xterm/addon-web-links
+npm install --save @xterm/addon-web-links
 ```
 
 Then import the addon, instantiate it and call `Terminal.loadAddon`:

 ### Node.js Support
 
-We also publish [`xterm-headless`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/xterm-headless) which is a stripped down version of xterm.js that runs in Node.js. An example use case for this is to keep track of a terminal's state where the process is running and using the serialize addon so it can get all state restored upon reconnection.

 ## API
 
 The full API for xterm.js is contained within the [TypeScript declaration file](https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/blob/master/typings/xterm.d.ts), use the branch/tag picker in GitHub (`w`) to navigate to the correct version of the API.
 
-Note that some APIs are marked *experimental*, these are added to enable experimentation with new ideas without committing to support it like a normal [semver](https://semver.org/) API. Note that these APIs can change radically between versions, so be sure to read release notes if you plan on using experimental APIs.
