Kmeleon Browser

K-Meleon is a web browser developed by Christophe Thibault, Etal and Dorian. It works very fastly, and easily customizable, the browser runs only on windows operating systems. It includes features like popup blocking, tabbed browsing and we can also customize the browser by applying different themes and skinsDon't know, haven't tested. But alas I fear K-Mel is dying. The current version is two years old. There was a beta released a year ago, but since then nothing has happened. The current version has problems with a lot of large sites. People generally don't cater to older gecko versions.

Also, Mozilla no longer supports embedding.

As I understand it it's still possible to build K-Mel, but many other gecko based projects have switched to webkit. Add to that that several longtime developers have left the K-Mel project.

I'm sad. I've liked that browser since day one. It's fast without XUL. Some years ago it became good enough (using a recent enough gecko) to use as my main browser and now it's so much behind that I have to use other browsers for example for most Google owned sites.
