K-Meleon is the Windows answer to Galeon. Thus, it is a lite Web browser based on Gecko (the Mozilla rendering engine). It's fast, it has a light interface, and it is fully standards-compliant. To make it simple, it could be considered as the unbloated Mozilla version for Windows. It doesn't require Mozilla to be installed to run. The interface tries to mimic the IE MFC interface as much as possible. For convenience, it also uses the IE bookmarking system.

    I've been using this for a few months and agree that it is one of the best slim, portable browsers but I prefer the K-Meleon CCF ME build.

    It's a lot faster than this one and has all the same features although it's missing the Hotlist. Compare for yourself.

    Ad blocking is easy with hosts man. But this browser does support css ad block style lists anywho. And for portability u can use password safe.

    Very refreshing not to have to hunt down a bunch of addons & bs skins etc that just take up more of my time.

    Very fast, probably the fastest browser around the web today! NO Opera is not fast and NO neither is Safari, which is a poor attempt for a browser.
    K-Meleon works really good with almost any hangups or freezes what so ever,plays anything anywhere superb, and is the first of the Gecko browser after Netscape Navigator. So the producers have had a long time of correcting and testing all to nearly perfection.
    I would absolutely prefer this browser b4 all the Chineese IE clones whick sux all of them.
    K-Meleon ROCKS!
