In this day and age of ever increasing browsers and their capabilities, many people are left unsure about what to choose. Most people are not aware why they use a particular browser. In an effort to educate our readers, we continue with our last week's series of browser reviews.
The latest browser to create a craze is K-Meleon. K-Meleon was originally written and developed by Christophe Thibault in the year 2000. It's built around the NGLayout engine (better known as Gecko) by using the MfcEmbed components of Mozilla. K-Meleon is still under development but even in its current form, it is able to perform tasks that would shame most of the widely used browsers at this time. The key behind developing this browser is to make a small, user friendly and easy to configure browsing tool. New features are added if they improve the performance and usefulness of the browser. Plans are to make K-Meleon a one-stop tool to do just about everything over the internet without the use of any external software.

The prob i see with k-meleon is that its not user-friendly enough.. the buttons are not intuitive nor are elements in the browser feel 'solid'.. Wish they can do a camino job, I'll dump firefox for that then..
