WesleyT Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 its fast, i think its the fastest browser around, only layout could be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gur713 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 actually the firefox trunks have the fast back option that was added to kmeleon that is what they mean by browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers now enabled as default this means that firefox 1.1 will be as fast if not faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwulf Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 The point why KM is faster than Firefox is not from the Gecko engin. KM is using the windows native interface not XUL so it 's absolutely running faster on Windows. Hao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference for me however, is that K-Meleon loads up almost instantly on a cold start, while FF with no extensions (Deer Park nightly) takes a few more seconds.

Ryne Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I've always disliked firefox because of the XUL engine (really slow startup and other things on older machines). Hopefully k-meleon can do better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I tried it and its very fast and responsive. It feels much more native than firefox but its ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwulf Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) OK. To make it look better. Check themes here: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index....0acb21eaf8dac47 And also you can use some other unofficial skins like this one : Edited July 20, 2005 by coolwulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolwulf Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Here's a tip for anyone who prefers a download dialog rather than the download manager: Go to about:config and search for browser.downloadmanager.behavior Set it to 1 for the download dialog, 0 for the manager, or 2 to not show anything.
