Kmeleon - Windows Gecko Browser

Posted by Hemos on from the this-technology-could-fall-into-the-right-hands dept.

Chasuk writes "Slashdot users who are also Windows users might be interested in visiting this site, where they can download Kmeleon, which is described on that site thusly: "K-Meleon is the Windows answer to Galeon. Thus, K-Meleon is a lite Web browser based on gecko (the mozilla rendering engine). It's fast, it has a light interface, and it is fully standards-compliant. To make it simple, K-Meleon could be considered as the unbloated Mozilla version for Windows.""

    Yes, let's not discuss technical issues or figure if something is useful or not, let's get bogged down on licenses.

    I for one, am getting tired of how complicated this is getting. If these license issues generate so many discussions with lots of confused developers, then maybe these licenses are too complicated for developers. Either simplify and clairify these damned things once and for all, or make "license/copyright law" a part of the CS curriculum.

    I'm starting to miss language war discussions, coding style holy wars, etc. License non-sense is just so uninteresting.

  2. Taking note? by finkployd · · Score: 5

    I wonder if the Mozilla people are taking note of the vocal (at least on slashdot) outcry for a SMALL, STANDARDS COMPLIANT, SIMPLE, and FAST browser?

    I don't know who wants bundled applications, every feature you can think of, and huge executible size, but appearently someone does, cause that is what they are delivering.

    At least there are projects out now to fix this, and since Mozilla is open source, it IS possible to strip it down when it reaches final form.

    (disclaimer: I've used every mozilla release since R4, unless you are testing with a quad-xeon, don't flame me telling me it's fast and not bloated)
