General :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I've using K-M for over 3 months now and without the Java installed. For security I have JavaScript turned off and only switch on when a site really needs it.
Unfortunately most ppl use the default settings on Netscape on IE and have everything on -- ActiveX (IE) and JS and Java. Apart from most sites not needing all these and definitely not all at once (!) it slows down the PC and is less secure???
I've yet to visit a site where Java is explicitly required. Maybe my sites are "boring"?
Well, try to use ICQ on the Web:
http://lite.icq.com
I have a 486 and don't want to install ICQ locally (which would slow down the machine's performance completely), so I find it great to have a web based ICQ.
Well, to be honest -- actually, still I can't use it, because JRE crashed Windows'95 completely when it starts up (i.e. when I go to a site that uses Java).
That pisses me off a little bit. :-(
K-Meleon is great! Keep on!
Cheers, Peter
yep. 'boring' is one of the first things i look for in a website, too.
Actually I use Java for online banking, as I'm sure others do: my bank runs a Netscape Security Applet for online access. And of course Opera could never run it at all, however using the same Java VM, K-Meleon ran it smoothly.
