Not even the deceny to they have no version for Macintosh and no manners to explain why... When will a version for Macs be out?

Actually, I don't think there will ever be a Mac version... not from K-Meleon anyway smiling smiley
K-Meleon is built on Mozilla (which is cross-platform, no problems there) and MFC. MFC, however, is strictly for Windows only. This is like how Geleon is Gnome only. In fact, "porting" K-Meleon to Mac would essentially be a re-write from the gruond up. Perhaps some Mac developers will come up with a good Mozilla-based browser?

Unless there's already one that I don't know about... I have no idea.

Such presumptuousness...

I know that it's possible (probably with some tweaking) to run some linux progs on osX, but that's as close as you'll get right now.

Cathy,

Do you have MacOS X? If so, Mozilla itself has been ported there. URL:

If you have a pre-MacOS X (or MacOS X) system, Netscape 6.2 (the commerical front end to Mozilla) has been ported here:
