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 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.

A very good work. It would be interesting to include an ads filter.

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!

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.

I have latest versions installed for Firefox, Opera, Safari, K-meleon, & Chrome. K-meleon is by far the fastest of these on my particular computer (XP SP3) - your mileage may vary. I have run this latest alpha for almost a week now, with nary a glitch. It seems even faster than prior K-mel versions. WOW! Highly recommended BUT -- if you try alpha or beta versions of any software, then: (a) be sure to image your system drive before trialing, and (b) expect to deal with some issues along the way.

I just overwrote the last zip folder with this one and it crashed once only. Seems fine now.

Light weight, and very fast browser. The only issue that I have, it crashes when I close out of it on my WinXP SP3 machine.
