K-Meleon is a fast and customizable web browser that can be used instead of Internet Explorer on Windows. Powered by the same Gecko engine as the Firefox and Mozilla browsers, K-Meleon provides users with a secure browsing experience.
-- Very stable, very fast, even on older machines. -- The friendliest forum I've ever seen. -- Any command in its vast command list can be tied to any UI element. -- Almost limitless configurability of all menus, context menus, bars, and buttons. That does need a bit reading, but then is utterly rewarding. -- Context menus for its buttons (- I have never seen that before, that IS a dream). -- MouseGestures out-of-the-box, even 2 R/L "rocking" gestures, and highly configurable. -- Can co-use or import your existing Firefox/Opera/IE bookmarks. --Skins -- Just some mouth-watering little UI tricks: -drag a tab to reload it -drag and drop a tab to another space on tabbar to duplicate -paste-and-go/paste-and-search in AddressBar. -context menu of selected text: a) open as URL b) if that is not an URL, the default search engine will search for an URL containing the text. c) search with (search engine to be selected from submenu) d) translate (languages to be selected from submenu) --Needless to say now: SearchEngines and TranslationServices can be selected in Preferences, OR add your own choice. --Extensions available - but few are needed. AdBlockPlus integrated. --before asking for NoScript extension, search for that in the forum. Only drawback I found so far: links can't be dropped to the bookmarks bar.
Much, much better than IE, Firefox, Opera, etc. And much, much, faster than those over bloated intrusive excuses of a web browsers. Once you get it dialed in (it's customizable!) you'll only use the other browsers when you are forced to (some sites still live in the stone age). Could use with a few more skins, but you won't care when you see how fast this baby is. Web surfing is fun again!
K-Meleon is a great browser. Light, fast, and rarely has a problem with a webpage. More reliable than Opera in that respect. K-Meleon is the true speed demon of the Mozilla/Gecko family!
