Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC1! Sooo, what is this?

Or else you can try K-Meleon, if you'd like something faster and lighter.

 

K-Meleon works, for example, on Windows98 systems very well. It is a cousin to Firefox, also based on the Gecko Runtime Engine (1.7.12).

 

K-Meleon is for Windows ONLY. Any Windows, but it must be Windows. Because it is not cross-platform, it carries far less weight than Firefox.

 

K-M comes up very basic-looking at first, and it has no extensions. That might scare you off. The browser does no advertising, and has no hype. Most of its users are also very familiar with Firefox and Opera. They are pretty well non-competitive people, so they are open to discussing the merits of other browsers with you.

 

Once you get used to K-Meleon's tweaks, you can actually customize it and tweak it much more than you can Firefox. But it is not a competitor. It is a different creature altogether. If you like the extensions concept, you might not like K-Meleon.

 

K-M is supported by one of the most friendly, helpful, and mature forums on the Internet. You can go to the forum and you'll see a green sidebar. There you can download the official version, using GRE 1.7.5, from January. Then you update it by inserting an automatic update file to 1.7.12.

 

Does that sound like fun? Then you'll love it.

Does it sound nasty? Then stay with Firefox.

 

K-Meleon also has experimental versions using GRE 1.8x and 1.9x. You get everything via the forum.
