Version: K-Meleon 1.5.3
Pros: Very fast and low RAM use. Contains good ad-blocker and flash blocker already installed. The Kmeleon website has "macros" you can type into the program file under "txt" or "kmm" to dramatically increase performance overall to Opera and Safari levels.
Cons: Unattractive interface. Firefox, Flock, and Netscape Navigator(remember that one?) add-ons do not work. Not easy to customize.
Summary: /*remove paint delay when loading*/
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay",0);/*Default is 250*/
/*enable improved pipelining*/

Version: K-Meleon 1.5.3
Pros: Lightweight and stable. It utilizes the standard Windows API, providing a simple and clean (yet old-fashioned) look. It uses very little memory while still providing standard browser functions (password saving, tabs, bookmarks toolbar, etc.).
Cons: A little intimidating to those who rely on "user-friendliness," as customization involves editing config files. Also, not flashy and lacks the add-ons and themes of FF and the like.
Summary: K-Meleon is minimalist heaven. It does everything you need it to while maintaining a small memory footprint (this means NO FF-style memory leaks). If you're looking for a pretty, modern-looking browser with all sorts of complex capabilities, this i... read more

Version: K-Meleon 1.5.3
Pros: Very fast. It just works perfectly.
Cons: None that are important.
Summary: It seems everyone always wants to talk or write about Chrome and Safari. K Meleon just blows both of them away. It may not be as customizable but it sure is fast ,neat and tidy. I've been using it for a number of years now and it's still my favorite... read more

Version: K-Meleon 1.5.3
Pros: Light-weight, original, customizable, safe, and a comfortable alternative browser.
Cons: Lacks power, security, and features of the heavy-weight browsers.
Summary: I'm glad to see another web browser that's not trying to emulate Internet Explorer. Chameleon is a very comfortable browser to use, light on resources, and like other original browsers, has some unique features. read more

Version: K-Meleon 1.5.3
Pros: I've tried almost every browser for windows and I like this the best. It is more secure and faster than my firefox. Also on popupcheck.com it passes all of the tests except it gets 60/100 for how many pop ups it can block. Maxthon gets 100 but sucks.
Cons: It loads google searches a little slowly.
Summary: I love this browser, it's the most secure and close to the fastest. Very good and doesn't crash or freeze. I have heard it is basically firefox but my firefox crashed a lot and got lots of pop ups. This is much better. read more
