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. http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1229113366/1 It's a lot faster than this one and has all the same features although it's missing the Hotlist. Compare for yourself. |

Adblock plus is supported in K-Meleon :) |
| anomoly | Oct 17, 2008 | 1.5.1 | 5 out of 5 |
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. http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/. Very refreshing not to have to hunt down a bunch of addons & bs skins etc that just take up more of my time. |

a joy browsing with K-Meleon .very lite and user-friendly . |
| Rayne Alex | Aug 26, 2008 | 1.5.0 | 5 out of 5 |
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! |
| pforbes | Aug 10, 2008 | 1.5.0 | 5 out of 5 |
A very good work. It would be interesting to include an ads filter. |
| oRoFLash | Aug 9, 2008 | 1.5.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Simple, fast and very effective! Light and stable. I feel safe surfing in the web with K-meleon. Es un excelente navegador, muy rapido y eficaz, tambien es muy seguro. |
| dpcdpc11 | May 6, 2008 | 1.5 Beta | 5 out of 5 |
now that's old new BetaNews... anyway... best browser for windows if you know how to use it.. fast and reliable... too bad it has some issues on Vista... other than that i would say it's the faster browser for windows and not Opera.. try it and u won't be sorry!! |
| Casper75 | Mar 10, 2008 | 1.5 Alpha 2 | 4 out of 5 |
I thought I'd give k-meleon a try for a couple of days & I have too agree that it's super fast & the interface is good as I like having access too my e-mail client & RSS reader within the browser, The only thing problem I have with k-meleon is that when I'm blogging k-meleon tends too close itself & the loader has a major bug in it which I have reported. The browser can be complicated for first time users so this program may not be for everyone but all up this is a fantastic browser. |
| Chocobito | Feb 24, 2008 | 1.5 Alpha 2 | 4 out of 5 |
Very good and better and fast that Firefox |
| mottigr73 | Dec 25, 2007 | 1.5 Alpha 1 Update 2 | 5 out of 5 |
I use 1.1.3 ver it's very fast, but need to download all plug in, need to config the layer. even soo It's my no1 Browser. very Good !!! |
| horsecharles | Oct 31, 2007 | 1.5 Alpha 1 Update 2 | 5 out of 5 |
1. Previous release just prior to this will not open on Vista. 2. Download link here not functional, use this for now: http://kmeleon.sourcefor...K-Meleon1.5a1update2.7z |
| ljepava | Oct 30, 2007 | 1.5 Alpha 1 Update 2 | 4 out of 5 |
good, fast, but needs major interface change. |
| Betachecker | Oct 30, 2007 | 1.5 Alpha 1 Update 2 | 5 out of 5 |
Bit confusing setup but I like it |
| improvelence | Sep 22, 2007 | 1.1.2 | 5 out of 5 |
Very fast, not so pretty but hey...it works. One thing that irks me with some software is the horrible names they pick for it (i know that sounds lame).... |
| systemlayers | Sep 10, 2007 | 1.1.2 | 5 out of 5 |
It's faster than any other browser i've ever tried. What else do you really NEED in a browser. Ad block is a plus as well and the customizeability of this browser is really nice if a little intimidating at first. It's now the one and only browser i use, it definitely gets the job done. |
| pforbes | May 23, 2007 | 1.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Excellent. I suggest nevertheless some improvements: - An easier configuration. - Allow setting the tabs in the lower side of the text. - Allow choosing the toolsbar buttons - Make it possible to change the order of buttons in the toolsbar buttons row. |
| bellgamin | May 1, 2007 | 1.1 RC | 5 out of 5 |
Fastest browser! Stable. Effective. Secure. Works great right out of the box, but can be tweaked (if you wish) ad infinitum. |
| jk- | Feb 15, 2007 | 1.02 | 5 out of 5 |
A great gecko-based browser (like firefox but alot faster)... It does actually have native RSS support (Tools -> Mail & News -> Read RSS Feeds). For userstyles, the Stylish extension works with K-Meleon (check kmeleon forums for info on that). For userscripts, there is a macro for using them (google search for "kmeleon userscripts" or for "greasify"). |
| kl00 | Jan 15, 2007 | 1.02 | 5 out of 5 |
Very light and fast; in those areas, on Windows, it reminds me of what I hoped Firefox would be, but never was...or ever will be... ;) Native RSS capabilities would be great, though for me RSS capability doesn't make or break a browser. I'm finding myself using this more and more when running Windows. I'd certainly recommend this over any of the slick IE shells out there. |
| Nikkie | Oct 24, 2006 | 1.02 | 5 out of 5 |
I love this thing but i can't configure it yet.It is a bit tricky at first but in time i will figure it out. I have a request .. user styles from userstyles.org please...unless i've overlooked this.I love styles from there and the greasemonkey scripts that firefox uses with the greasemonkey extension. I got km working with proximitron...so all is ok right now. I am having a hard time trying to just adjust the icons on the toolbar... |
| Ian C. | Sep 26, 2006 | 1.02 |  3 out of 5 |
Very fast and has a small memory footprint, but I find the GUI absolutely annoying, especially in the preferences windows. |
| adamlau | Sep 23, 2006 | 1.02 | 4 out of 5 |
Fast rendering and lightweight installation footprint earns this one a 4 out of 5. Dock a point for the fact that this release continues to be a bit tedious to customize. |
| capandjudy | Sep 22, 2006 | 1.02 | 4 out of 5 |
While it is not feature laden i.e drag and drop, spell checking, and several other things that you take for granted in Opera and Firefox, it has most of the basic browser functionality, and is quite easy to use, and is extremely fast even on high resource PCs. All of the standard Mozilla plugins are supported also. |
| wlados | Aug 5, 2006 | 1.0 | 3 out of 5 |
K-meleon is a nearperfect browser for me. Stable - fast gecko rendering engine. But this lightweight internet browser is without rss feeds and complex bookmark managíng options. Its not perfect its ONLY real good. Opera 9 and probably Netscape 8.1 are the most complex browsers today:-) |
| a7 | Jul 26, 2006 | 1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
good |
| epidote | Jul 20, 2006 | 1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Very fast and lightweight I have to say. I have tried almost all the browsers, still having Advant, Maxthon, Mozilla, Opera, on my desktop, this K-Meleon is the latest one that I have added onto my desktop. Comparatively, it's as fast as Advant, and the feeling when it's downloading a website, is pretty sleek and fast and 'effortless'. I have tried the older version, which sometimes got me stuck while trying to download a website, but this one sure work. Addition: k-meleon recently have a newer version 1.2, I tried that, but immediately decided to switch back to 1.0, as they added more features, but not too great, it'll all remind me of the IE version, which I have stick myself to using maxthon. I prefer, and I will stick to the k-meleon 1.0. Particularly the 'Find' feature, for some reason, I somehow prefer the older type of 'find' feature. |
| kcalvert | Jul 18, 2006 | 1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Very fast browser without the bloat of others. I have found it much faster then IE, Firefox (although I use it a lot), and Opera. If you are not one who likes to tweak to get things just right, this one is not for you. If you don't mind the tweaking and want a basic, fast browser, this one is it. |
| sQin | Jul 18, 2006 | 1.0 |  2 out of 5 |
totally agree with HornyToad. Both Opera and K-meleon are good and so fast browsers. But Opera improved much more last few years, has better, more intuitive interface, content blocking option... |
| HornyToad | Jul 18, 2006 | 1.0 |  1 out of 5 |
To me, a browser on which you spend more than 30 minutes trying to get the UI just right (where the toolbars are, importing your Faves, etc...), just to realize that you're never going to make it, isn't a good browser. I used to like the speed and feel of K-Meleon 0.9x, but this one is for s**t (pardon my French) ! Moving the toolbars only gets you to a clutter of buttons, layers are atop, your Faves under them, the status bar keeps reappearing each time you open the browser or even a new layer, there's no "spill" icon on the Favorites toolbar, so that half of them are out of reach, and advanced preferences don't give much "advanced" features at all... So, in all, and strictly IMHO, this K-Meleon is akin to the rest of the Mozilla family : you have to spend more time fine-tuning it that using it. I like Opera for the immediate usability, and the fact that it provides what users seek in a Web browser : the ability to surf the Web, without fuss nor spark... Moz' boys, keep the old "KISS" acronym in mind when you build a browser, you won't get stuck to a mere 15% on the browser market... |
| spiked | Jul 17, 2006 | 1.0 | 4 out of 5 |
A nice leaner Firefox but it's insane that 1.0 released with the s***-S bug because it was widely reported in RC2. Fixing accel.cfg is easy but make sure you find the correct copy of this file, and you need to restart the browser AND the loader (if you chose to install the loader) before the fix takes effect. |
| bellgamin | Jul 17, 2006 | 1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Fast. Stable. Works great out of the box, but also can be configured 10 ways to Sunday. The s*** S bug has been fixed. The command is now alt s*** S. |
| Velocition | Jul 11, 2006 | 1.0 RC2 | 4 out of 5 |
K-Meleon 0.9.13 was better in my opinion. This newer version, K-Meleon 1.0 RC2, seems just like 0.9.12 or 0.9. Nevertheless, it still is a pretty fast browser. Definitely worth using on slower systems. |
| digitalking | Jul 5, 2006 | 1.0 RC2 | 5 out of 5 |
4.9 Stars. Someone needs to remove s***+S as a key macro for showing the status bar. I had to remove it manually from the config file. I could not even type the capital S in this box, until that was removed. |
| hurzx | Jul 4, 2006 | 1.0 RC2 | 5 out of 5 |
Excellent. I'm using it as my main browser since last week ( although Opera O9 b8509 is also close to perfect). Some bugs noted however ( as s***+S not working when typing, or the "open new layer" icon crashing the prog) but so fast and light in ressource that I accept them for the moment. Considering that start I gonna try K-Ninja. |
| JaapB | Jun 29, 2006 | 1.0 RC2 | 5 out of 5 |
I have a question for 'jp122182'. Please tell me, where did you find a faster browser? And next time you want to write a revieuw like this, please tell us wich product is better. |
| niti | Jun 29, 2006 | 1.0 RC2 | 5 out of 5 |
Gorgeous! |
| bugmenot | Jun 28, 2006 | 1.0 RC2 | 5 out of 5 |
Also, you can try the K-Ninja browser. It's like a slim firefox with basic extensions already installed. And it's fast and it doesn't take to many resources! |
| horsecharles | Apr 27, 2006 | 0.9.13 | 5 out of 5 |
Added Features # Noscript extension improved.Thanks to Alain Aupeix and CaptnBlack. # NoScript button toggles NoScript, # Right click context menu for NoScript contains now : Allow for javascript for this page for session, Block only for this session, Add and remove from list of allowed pages. # Block Flash, Java or Plugins from NoScript. # Note : For NoScript functions, Javascript must always be enabled in the Preferences panel. # Active X Support is now enabled, but only for Windows Media Player. # Active X Support can now be disabled/enabled from the browser menu Tools-->Privacy-->Permissions. # Other ClassIDs can be added in defaults/prefs/activex.js, if this is desired, but increase possibly the security risk. # New Umlaut macro added. # Bugfix for the so-called giant history bug implemented. This bugfix unfortunately disables Google Maps and GMail. To enable these services, disable the bugfix temporarily, by clicking on Tools-->Privacy-->Permissions-->Google Maps/GMail enable/disable. Afterwards disable again, to get the bugfix back for the rest of the Internet. # Mime Types Editor # Flashblock can be disabled or enabled in Tools-->Privacy-->Permissions-->Flashblock. No complaints-- except that FF is more compatible at more sites-- as would be expected. Rating: deserves a wee bit more than 4, less than 5. |
| jp122182 | Feb 28, 2006 | 0.9.12 | 1 out of 5 |
uninstalled it about 5 mins. after I used it, too slow for me |
| bellgamin | Jan 13, 2006 | 0.9.12 | 5 out of 5 |
K-meleon 0.9.12 ought to be called 1.0 -- it's THAT good. Faster than greased lightning. Rock steady. Configurable beyond belief, yet it works just fine straight out-of-the-box for those who detest tweaking. K-mel uses the same Gecko engine as Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape -- but minus the bloat. |
| Gerwin | Jan 12, 2006 | 0.9.12 | 2 out of 5 |
Your cache is stored in \program files\kameleon. This is sooo single user, windows98 and very bad. Anyone can read it now! Bad, bad k-meleon! |

simply excelent... fast, stable and small.. |
| fair_is_fair | Jan 12, 2006 | 0.9.12 | 5 out of 5 |
I was worried Kmeleon developement had ended. But no! It is alive and doing well. Terrific browser. I believe it is the quickest browser you can find for Windows. Has some nice features. I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with this new version. |
| ModderXManiac | Jan 11, 2006 | 0.9.12 | 5 out of 5 |
Well the security issues are gone for the most part so you can't gripe about that anymore. I love this, it's incredibly fast. |
| digitalking | Sep 30, 2005 | 0.9 | 5 out of 5 |
I give this a five, even though I shouldn't, as it has not been updated in 9 months. It is super fast once you apply the tweaks, and has a nicer interface than Firefox. K-meleon lost the war to Firefox, as this is missing many security updates, that need to be attended to, since January of 2005. |
| lyleax | Jun 30, 2005 | 0.9 | 5 out of 5 |
I am a big fan of Firefox, but for browsing quickly and easily, with mouse gestures, smooth scrolling, and tabbed (they call it layered) browsing, K-Meleon is a great choice. It's not meant for non-techies, however, because many of its features are hidden in small configuration dialogs or text files. |
| fair_is_fair | Mar 7, 2005 | 0.9 | 5 out of 5 |
Wow! I am impressed. This is a little no name browser that must be the best kept secret on the internet. It is awesome! FAST. Not a lot of features to slow you down but enough to make surfing easy. I do not understand the popularity of Firebird. It is very slow on my machines. K-meleon and firebird share the same platform but I see no comparison in performance. Even good old Mozilla suite out performs firebird. Well done K-meleon. |
| JoeCool007 | Feb 27, 2005 | 0.9 | 5 out of 5 |
Best web browser around - Once tweaked, nothing is better. This is browsing the way it should be - with me in control! Very fast (fastest I've tried), customizable, secure and clean. Highly recommended, but you must be willing to spend some time tweaking it. If you do, it pays off. A+! |
| mikedallos | Jan 19, 2005 | 0.9 | 5 out of 5 |
OMG!! Too fast, too strong,too fast,too much fun:this is the best,most secure browser; reliable,issue-free,crash free!! Easy to "tweak"!! Be well..... Mike |
| ArKay74 | Jan 17, 2005 | 0.9 RC2 | 3 out of 5 |
K-Meleon may have been there long before Firefox came out but it got too quiet for too long so I think they really missed their opportunity. It was barely ever updated. 11-03-2002 The K-Meleon Documentation Project needs volunteers... 11-10-2003: K-Meleon 0.8 released 12-13-2003: K-Meleon 0.8.1 released 12-23-2003: K-Meleon 0.8.2 released 01-15-2005: K-Meleon 0.9 is ready for release I tried it back then but didn't like it much stability-wise, so I stuck to Mozilla until Firefox saw the light of day. Firefox has more plugins and more features by now. |
| Jim | Jan 9, 2005 | 0.9 RC1 | 5 out of 5 |
"I thought Firefox was already a light and small client"...this comment should be put on the firefox page only saying "I thought kmeleon was alreay a light and small client" after all k-meleon has been out alot longer and is tons better IMHO. Jeff just needs to keep up better with updates =) |
| capandjudy | Dec 20, 2004 | 0.9 Beta 4 | 2 out of 5 |
It is still a headache to use although easier than the last time I tried a K-Meleon beta. This is for technology enthusiasts only. Others need not apply. With Firefox and Opera around, I don't see the relevance of this browser. |
| scoot | Oct 28, 2004 | 0.9 Beta 2 | 3 out of 5 |
I thought Firefox was already a light and small client?? Also, was there really a need to call tabs layers? |
| tp | Oct 28, 2004 | 0.8.2 | 5 out of 5 |
the key for me with this one is that it supports IE favorites, which i share a common favorites folder on my network which netscrape bookmarks can't do as far as i know... (you can use either or both with this).. its the only mozilla browser that i've found that has this functionality... |
| Ehrihk | Jun 20, 2004 | 0.8.2 | 4 out of 5 |
A great browser! However, Firefox has a better balance with features and speed. |
| JolinFire | Dec 28, 2003 | 0.8.2 | 5 out of 5 |
A well done light mozilla. Based on Mozilla 1.5 code, as can say user agent of KMeleon : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016 K-Meleon/0.8.2 For low end computer (between 233 and 600 Mhz) with a little memory (less than 128 Mb). |
| jrepin | Dec 27, 2003 | 0.8.2 | 5 out of 5 |
Very good browser. Small and fast. But for now I'm sticking with Mozilla, which has more features and since I'm using Mozilla Mail to it is better to have it all in one package. |
| L06@N | Dec 27, 2003 | 0.8.2 | 5 out of 5 |
I realyl enjoy this browser. Though I still hold true to Firebird and Thunderbird...but I can see this one becoming my fav w/ a few changes :-) |
| razorhasyou | Dec 26, 2003 | 0.8.2 | 3 out of 5 |
pretty good, but don't forget that firebird still Rulez! |
| Garp | Dec 26, 2003 | 0.8.2 | 5 out of 5 |
Not bad at all...especially for a non-final version. I'm really very impressed with it. I don't know that it will replace my Opera, but there's really nothing I can complain about with it. |
| mmann | Dec 14, 2003 | 0.8.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Groups are available as an "add-on" in the macros section of the site. This browser is one of the fastest around, if not the fastest and definitely the most customizable bar none. |
| bobad | Nov 12, 2003 | 0.8 Build 844 | 3 out of 5 |
Nice, but no groups. Get with the program guys! |

"Using the k-meleon loader is kind of lame in my opinion. A browser should be fast because it is designed to be fast, not because it is pre-loaded wasting memory (8.4MB) when you aren't even using it." but that's exactly what IE does - with one difference that pre-loaded wasted memory is part of windows, so you don't have any control over that. |

This is the most stable version yet. Tabbed browsing works better than 0.65, I haven't had it crash yet, it's slim, loads fast, and unlike 0.65 definately a version that was ready for public release. Although I like the lighted "K" throbber better than the default one. Now we just need a couple nice skins, and we're all set. Can't wait til this one is ready for a 1.0 release, it might be 2 years from now, but I'm sure it'll be great. |
| Kidman | Nov 1, 2002 | 0.7 | 5 out of 5 |
Well..the Internet Explorer is fast, because the MSHTML DLLs are being in the memory all the time, because thinsg like the Windows Explorer use it. And Opera can't be loaded on the fly, it's an MDI browser, that needs its main windows be there all the time (more memory consuming as the K-Meleon loader). To me the Gecko engine of Mozilla is way faster than any of those other engines out there and K-Meleon is faster than Mozilla, because it's slim. I am using K-Meleon for over one year and I am very satisfied with it. It still has a few problems (open window through and close it right after it appeard) and some features missing (Auto-Complete URLs), but it the most serious, non-bloated browser out there. Still deserves a 5... |
| zulugrid | Oct 28, 2002 | 0.65 Beta Build 674 | 3 out of 5 |
Using the k-meleon loader is kind of lame in my opinion. A browser should be fast because it is designed to be fast, not because it is pre-loaded wasting memory (8.4MB) when you aren't even using it. I tried disabling the toolbar background image but it wouldn't go away (edit: had to restart the browser). Couldn't find an easy to use option to lock the toolbars. The UI reminds me of a combination old IE/Netscape browser. Switching between layers causes the taskbar icon thing to recreate so it keeps switching its position on the taskbar (very annoying in my opinion). Uses more memory than Opera v6 and doesn't appear to be as fast. Overall, my computer is fast enough that I am willing to sacrafice a bit of performance in exchange for a better appearance. I'm sticking with IE. |
| Mr_Puddles | Aug 29, 2002 | 0.65 Beta Build 44 | 4 out of 5 |
Works well, but the program is rarely updated for public use. The developers build is updated on a constant basis. I would still use Mozilla though. |
| Kidman | Apr 9, 2002 | 0.65 Beta Build 44 | 5 out of 5 |
It's not a disappointment, because this version is NOT for public use. It is an internal beta for testing purpose. It's said to be non-functional in many points (like broken file download). It's mainly a port to the Mozilla 0.9.9 source (after the first version of 0.65 build 44 what was a port to 0.9.8, that was even less functional) with some K-Meleon-specific bugfixes in it. The developers working on completing it. Too bad this beta was leaked to betanews (okok..it was mentioned 2 or 3 times at the forums, but always with the note it's NOT fully functional) and now ppl start to being scaring away from this unstable and buggy piece of s**t (some ppl like argue like this) or start flooding the forums with complains about that poor build. So I say it again: IT'S NO VERSION FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE!!! Stay with 0.6 until the official page has a download of it mentioned on the first page! |
| MyMaster | Apr 9, 2002 | 0.65 Beta Build 44 | 5 out of 5 |
what a dissapointment. i had high expectations on the new version of K-meleon, but i must say that if this is what we should expect from the stable version, im moving on. the interface really needs a lot of work, it is way too simplistic. i found nothing new other than it uses the new mozilla build, and the cookie thing is simply unsustainable. i am giving a shot at Networker, or even at Mozilla. by the time it takes developers to put out new versions of K-meleon we should see a really good and stable version in 2010. |
| swenateb | Apr 8, 2002 | 0.65 Beta Build 44 | 5 out of 5 |
The good: Standards-compliant, no activeX, small and lean, better than IE. It uses google for searches. I like the green dragon icon. Web pages display correctly where Mozilla 0.9.5, the last build I used, did not for certain sites. The not so good: It doesn't start up or render images as fast as IE, but it's still fast. It keeps asking to set cookies even though you set it to accept cookies. Other than that, I prefer this over IE. It's good enough to be the default browser. |
| Richard30ky | Apr 8, 2002 | 0.65 Beta Build 44 | 5 out of 5 |
a five stars for its speed and not bloated and reliability a 1 stars for its ugly IE looks people may prefer IE over netscape *except me*but have to admit netscape looks better -only thing to improve is it looks i would rather they come up with there own style than mimmic IE or others.just a oppinion |
| ilikedirtthe2nd | Mar 13, 2002 | 0.6 | 5 out of 5 |
the browser and only the browser. this is what i like on kmeleon (and that it is open-source and very fast) |
| XanTium | Oct 27, 2001 | 0.5.5 Beta Build 551 | 5 out of 5 |
whoa ! this browser rulez. Fast , small , free , stable , w3c compliant. Looks like some competition for Opera , but this one is open source! So I give it 5. If you want something like mozilla , but mozilla itself is too big and uses too many resources , then this k-meleon is the thing u are looking for! |
| masoud | Sep 29, 2001 | 0.5 | 5 out of 5 |
i cannot compare it with other browsers;it is good and fast, i would like to see future events . |
| leveck | Sep 28, 2001 | 0.5 | 5 out of 5 |
Everyone needs to take a look at Kmeleon's latest version. It really rocks. What was missing before is there now. It is small and it is fast. |
| Torre | May 16, 2001 | 0.4 | 5 out of 5 |
I like this program a lot and look forward to new releases. Though there are some things that need to be added, we must understand that K-Meleon is still under evolution and it has a lot of potential. So let's encourage its author(s) to continue working on it! |

Go to the author's homepage, and have a good laugh. You'll see stuff like: "2.5.2001 NEW gdivx 1.8.0 sources uploaded hehe what a poor code !!! 17.04.2001 NEW Version Released !!!!!! This Version Is 10x Faster than previous !!!!!!". |

The fact that it looks like IE is nosiating? Really? It didn't influence my nose at all. Truthfully, the appearance of a thing rarely influences my nose. When I watch Pinocchio or Cyrano de Bergerac, I sometimes imagine that my nose lengthens, but that is the only example that I can recollect where appearance causes any physiological change to my proboscis, and, even then, it is fleeting and imaginary. I would get my nose checked, if I were you. I can't recommend a good otolaryngologist, but perhaps someone else on this forum can help. If IE actually causes you nosiation, I imagine that the experience is quite nauseating. See an otolaryngologist soon! |

Excellent stuff guys, just keeps getting better and better! :) Using K-Meleon 0.3 as a front-end to Gecko compares very favorably to Opera 5, in terms of memory usage (only 1/3 more for me) and in terms of overall performance. I didn't clock the rendering speed since I'm on a fast computer on dailup at the moment, but overall I have to say I'm quite impressed. The only gripes: 1) The scrollbar doesn't get its dimensions from windows (is this a Gecko thing?) and it's much larger in K-Meleon than I have it set in Windows. 2) The position of the last open window isn't saved. 3) It would be nice to customize the avi activity animation since it clashes with my Windows colour scheme. =) I tried opening the exe in a resource editor but it's difficult. Actually the fcat that it's even an avi is needless, why not just a gif or something. Anyway, nice work. :) |

it's a good browser much better than AOLscape. No bloat. Gecko still needs work though, geeknews still doesn't come up correctly. Very fast. Shutting off the background image sped loadin time up.otherwise very good browser. |

Pretty good program. For those complaining it takes a long time to load ... ive only got a 450mhz AMD K6-2 and it pops up instantly. hehe I suggest getting a new computer. |
| chrisih | Nov 28, 2000 | 0.2.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Nice, but why is it so heavy on memory usage? Seems stable, quick. This has a future. Much better interface than Netscape. |

Hmm, it may render html pages a little bit faster than other browsers, but not much. And I'll be dammed if this isn't the slowest browser to load I have ever tried. |
| btong | Aug 25, 2000 | v0.1 | 1 out of 5 |
when ever i open the program it just keeps opening new K-meleon windows until there are about 40 in my task bar. is any one else getting this same problem |
| ynjhs | Aug 24, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
All I can say is AWESOME JOB! I for one love the IE interface and you made everything better by using the Netscape engine. Wonderful job man, a well deserved applause. One question though... where to report bugs? |
| cylix | Aug 24, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
It's pretty impressive for a first release. It's almost everytthing Mozilla/Netscape should be but within 100th of the time. I'm not so sure on the UI though. Pages load faster and during a one hour session it never crashed once. It will not replace IE just yet but it's certainly got the potential. Well Done! |
| tailor200 | Aug 24, 2000 | v0.1 | 4 out of 5 |
Excellent first release. Proxy works great. the app itself loads fast and pages load great. Cant wait to see the next release. |
| rgrah | Aug 23, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
One last thing then im done done. Cut, Copy, Paste shortcutes (x,c,v) dont work in address bar. |
| Richard_Browne | Aug 23, 2000 | v0.1 | 4 out of 5 |
You guys are missing the point. V is not an explorer replacement. It is a text file viewer.. a replacement for the old LIST program that was so popular in the DOS days. It is the best text file viewer available. |
| dkappos | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 3 out of 5 |
Very good for an initial release! Very fast, light, simple GUI. But it there is no support for non-latin characters.. so it is not acceptable for a lot of internet users. Not yet. |
| Neo8234 | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 4 out of 5 |
oh yeah and the history doesn't work either |
| kwatt | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Awesome for an initial release! Fast, light, good gui. |

This is one to watch! It is very quick and responsive, not at all like netscape 6. I hope this project is continued as it is a nice change of pace, as it out performs Netscape & even IE. It didn't crash on me once -- hard to believe that this was a day's work while AOL and it's $$ still can't get netscape right (fast & stable). |

Here are the specific settings I changed in prefs.js to make it work with a proxy: pref("network.proxy.http", "your.proxy.here"); pref("network.proxy.http_port", proxy.port.here); pref("network.proxy.type", 1); The above setting was 0, the proxy only started working when I changed it to 1, sorry I didn't mention that one earlier... --Enjoy, and hope this helps some of ya'll out..... |

I'm using Necaptor 6.02 now, but I am going to keep a eye on this one. It must be nice to work with source code. |
| kdoswald | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Great Web Browser!!, did not have any problems installing it or running it under windows ME. I definately suggest everyone try this one out. |
| Aydin | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Wonderful!! Thankfully someone saw how terrible Mozilla interface was and wrote a solution for it. I mean, even if you are a IE hater or Mozilla lover, that Mozilla interface is clumsy and stupid. I'll use this one from now on. |
| doicare | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Wow. Neato. I think I'll use this instead of IE, just because I love neat things that are in development. What tags, exactly, are we supposed to edit to make the proxy work? |
| danchee | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Hmm.. seems to be a good browser. Although Proxy still doesn't work after editing the .js file. Probably my own stupidity. Anyways, does anyone know if it works with current DHTML pages? I remember that Netscape 6 PR2 doesn't render most of the old DHTML codes since it is fully standards compliant. Thanks. |
| Atherean | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Can't download it due to ?heavy traffic?.. |
| abtester | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 3 out of 5 |
Needs proxy support! It'ls looks like it may be promising, but can't use it here at work. Can't confgure it to go thru firewalls/proxy. So I'll give it another try from home. |
| daztop | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Amazing! I have NEVER seen a page load so quickly! I like this engine! A few bugs (obviously) and I've had a couple of crashes. Still looks good however. I look forward to hearing about future releases. |
| dso47 | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
I agree with nate. The author couldn't have crafted a better browser. More developers should think like this author does! |
| nate | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
I must say, with the speed of the gecko engine and the simplicity of the IE interface, this is one great program. K-Meleon corrects all of the issues I (and others) have with Mozilla - size, interface and usibility. Once mouse wheel support is added and a couple other bugs are fixed, K-Meleon will definitely give IE a run for its money. I strongly suggest you try this piece of software out. Great job Christophe! |
| i_am_anonymous | Aug 22, 2000 | v0.1 | 5 out of 5 |
Download this version if Mozilla is already installed on your computer, otherwise download the full one. |
