K-Meleon Web Browser

[haskell]

K-Meleon is an extremely fast, customizable, lightweight web browser for the win32 (Windows) platform based on the Gecko layout engine (the rendering engine of Mozilla). K-Meleon is free, open source software released under the GNU General Public License.

I've used it for about a month, and the advertisements are true! It is extremely fast, customizable, and light weight.

I urge you to try it, it is ultimately fantastic.

Please post your feedback, good or bad, so others can gauge whether to try this browser or not.

too bad its only for Win32 ... us Linux users shall stick to firefox or Opera i guess.

Unless we get enough people to help translate it to a workable Linux port. shouldnt be too hard... whats it written in?

It's written in C++ and based on the Gecko rendering engline.

I find it quite quick and nice to use. I shall use it for researching, since I don't like waiting for a long time for pages to load. It should be noted that compsci.ca still loads slowly even with K-Meleon .

It wouldn't be hard to port. I mean, come on, Thunderbird and FireFox use Gecko.

@ rdrake: lol...

You would be surprised at the number of projects I'm considering working on. Perhaps come end of April we can see about starting a large project like this?

[haskell]

I'd be interested, I know that.
