K-Meleon 1.1 - Unbloated Mozilla Web Browser

K-Meleon 1.1 (Windows, Open Source, 5.32MB) [download via FileForum] 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.

Changes:

  • Mozilla 1.8.1.4 backend
  • Default accels/menus/macros upgradable
  • Modular macros, easy to install
  • Full localization support
  • Session Saver plugin (not with layers)
  • Possibility to open a new instance
  • Customization of search engines/mouse gestures/proxies
  • Overall improvements for macros and menus
  • Dialog UI
  • Cookie permissions and password support
