How is it possible for K-Meleon to work faster on my celeron at 700Mhz than Mozilla Firefox, internet explorer, or Chrome?
I feel almost no difference when I'm using K-Meleon on my ancient rig and when I'm using it at work on a dual core 2.
It's magical.
Carlos,
In the land of Gecko, K-Meleon is smart and lean because it took the low road, while Mozilla's Firefox, Seamonkey and Thunderbird took the high road. By that I mean that the Mozilla Corp. Gecko products all incorporated a software emulation language called XUL, which produces all those XPI extensions that is the core of their approach to browsing.
K-Meleon decided to go for speed, which meant using script language "macros" instead of XUL/XPI. Over time the macro "script" language became more robust and lots and lots of macros became available.* Sometimes they are natively written, sometimes they are ported over from FireFox and Seamonkey.
