Recently I grew completely tired and disappointed with modern twists and turns that all "major" Web browsers regularily do. All those "upgrades", "enhancements", "new engines", "progressive features" and other similar s*it.

And I was so gladly surprised when I eventually discovered K-Meleon - simple and comfortable, truly independent and supported by tiny but very dedicated community of outworldly geeks and nerds :)

It even has Netscape 6 and 8 skins! Just like the good old days of Internet came back...

And I like it even more than another Gecko-based old-fashioned browser, Pale Moon.

Unfortunately it seems like SourceForge is in the middle of maintenance through February 15.

Might be why that homepage link for this project (either kmeleonbrowser.org or kmeleon.sourceforge.net) isn't working right now, since it is likely hosted on SourceForge. Maybe in another day or two…

Can't figure out what's so special about the browser. Being "customizable" doesn't really say anything about it specifically.

And it appears inactive for over a year…

I didn't say it's "special". I just say it gives me that long-forgotten old-school feeling that one could feel with Netscape or earlier builds of Firefox. It's like Total Commander for Web. And it has some really cool unique features.

It's really only for the real old-school folks (that are obviously constantly diminishing here on GOG, alas).

I just meant from its project page. It doesn't really say anything about itself.

When I want old-school web browsers I fire up a text web browser. For me, images and Javascript are overrated.

Yeah, I heard of you being the True Master of Vitriol ;) But I pretend to be the Servant of the Cosmic Balance.

Unders are equally imbalanced as Overs.

As for K-Meleon, it has a steadfast and die-hard Russian community, for instance, and their fresh release version for now is 76, not 75. K-Meleon does have a bunch of innate extensions and plugins that cover the basic "normal" needs of web-surfing, such as ad-blocking, the famous Chinese-made site-blocking-bypassing proxy tool Ultrasurf and others.
No "clouds", synchronizations and so on, just because this browser is so simple to install and transfer that you just copy-paste its little-weighted folder between PCs - and voila.

Browser? Humbug! Real men type requests by hand.

Pff... I still use pigeon post.
its faster, more reliable and with better privacy. Also ads can't stick to it :)

They are technically low-cost biological UAV. :)

Good try, lad. Good but lame nevertheless. Learn from the Master of Sarcasm from up there ^.

You should get my detailed response to your criticism with the next pigeon! Please keep the windows open and a pack of seeds handy!

What's wrong with Firefox? It hasn't changed that much.

Well it's removed a number of options that were used by accessibility tools over the years.

I'm stuck in the v40s because of that....
Please make sure the windows are big enough as covered in the RFCs:

Firefox did change much, became a (stupid) google chrome clone.

So...what does this offer that say, SeaMonkey or Lynx doesn't, while allegedly being old-school?

Seriously, the UI for Seamonkey hasn't changed for over a decade, and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) ]the Lynx browser[/url] is one of the last text mode browsers in existence.

Fair enough, I probably don't use my browser that much (or for the reasons you guys do) so I haven't noticed anything bad happening.

I mean I noticed when utorrent went horrible, because all of a sudden their was ads all over it (so I went back to 2.2.1), but with Firefox I don't remember anything drastic.
