Gecko-based K-Meleon 0.9 browser Released

Posted by Hemos on from the keep-the-pressure-on dept.

Fylfot writes "After a long time in development, version 0.9 of the Gecko-based K-Meleon web browser for Windows has been released. K-Meleon is the geekier, more configurable, lighter-weight (XULless), speedier twin of Firefox. When 1.0 comes out, Microsoft may have another reason to worry about Internet Explorer marketshare. Also reported on Chip Online and MozillaZine."

    K-Meleon is the geekier, more configurable... Microsoft may have another reason to worry about Internet Explorer marketshare.

    If K-Meleon is more geeky than Firefox, than I don't think IE will be worrying any time soon.

    then, i guess it would be Firefox which may lose market-share. after all, both of them (K-melon and FF) appleal more to the techie ppl than those rest 90% (i.e. IE users).

    So, chances are more that a FF user may convert to K-melon than an IE user!

    or not?

    It starts with a "K", but it's not for KDE. It's windows only. This violates an essential rule of software. If it's called "kfoo", it's for kde, "gfoo" -- gnome, "xfoo" -- graphical cousin to pre-existing "foo" cli application, "yfoo" -- I don't know. Why foo?
