Hi all,
Long time lurker and user of K-meleon here, decided to finally break the silence since google was showing no love to my browser of choice (and Opera too!) I know this is pretty simple so don't laugh (too much)!
As the title suggests I wanted to try out Google Instant but it's only optimized for the most un-optimized browsers out there (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, IE8(?!))! With a little searching I came across this tidbit and sure enough making it work in K-meleon was a snap!
Heres what you need to do:
1) Goto tool --> User Agent -->Custom
2) Copy paste this string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Aaand you're Done!
For those who're wondering that string makes K-meleon tell websites and other such browser-ready places that its Firefox ver 3.6.3 running on Windows XP.
If you'd like to use another string more suitable to your OS go here:

For me, being on a Pentium 3 is the best I can get - and K-meleon is a Godsend! I hope this works out for all of you, Let me know how it goes, Take care!
P.S I know this place has some great coders/scripters, Just thought I'd mention that Google Instant runs faster on Firefox (and yes I understand its optimized for it) but is there a way to speed it up on k-meleon too? Its not unbearable - just wondering is all. Thanks!
