K-Meleon is a fast Web browser that can be customized to allow you to replace the functionality of Internet Explorer on Windows. K-Meleon is supported by the same Gecko engine as Firefox and Mozilla browsers, K-Meleon provides users with a secure browsing experience. Based on the Mozilla 1.8.0.7 codebase.
As the reports on the official website. "K-Meleon is a web browser that is fast, light-based Gecko layout engine developed by Mozilla which is also used by firefox. K-Meleon is a free program, open source, released under the GNU General Public License and designed specifically for the operating system Microsoft Windows (Win32) ".
K-Meleon uses native application windows API (application programming interface) to create a user interface and not using XUL (User Interface Language) is cross-platform from Mozilla. And as a result, This browser is integrated into the look and feel of desktop windows. So you will not feel strange when I entered and try K-Meleon is because it uses a familiar windows interface with the most user. This approach is similar to Galeon and Epiphany (for the GNOME desktop), and Camino (for Mac OS X). It also makes the K-Meleon is not so much use of resource intensive --- so your computer feel lighter.
Because using the API, the interface of the K-Meleon is very flexible. All the menus and toolbar buttons you can customize by using the configuration file. This feature can be very useful in environments where the public has access to the browser as a public library or Internet cafe. There is no GUI (graphical user interface) here to customize individual toolbars, so users must edit the configuration file toolbar to make changes in the layout of buttons, although you can move it around the toolbar simply by dragging them.
The use of native Windows interface has led to K-Meleon does not support Mozilla-based theme. Availability with Mozilla extensions are also limited, with only a few extensions that can be integrated with either. However, K-Meleon also has a plugin (called "kplugins") and the theme browser, (by default called Phoenity) own that can extend and customize the look of the browser functionality. There is also a macro plugin that allows users to extend browser functionality without having to know the C programming language.
