If you can browse without svg, autocomplete, certificates, about pages, error pages and so on, then that's ok. But don't tell they're completely unnecessary. A lot of users use those features.
Yeah, I know that a lot of users are using them ,But in my humble opinion they are being used ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE INTEGRATED PART OF THE K-meleon.Or better said, K-meleon uses them ..The regular user can not be bothered with learning all this stuff..
I set to see just how much one can remove from K-meleon and still being able to surf Internet normaly
Mainly because i have an old laptop with limited amount of Ram...
Right now i am still working in the embed.jar\embed\content\global section and yeah there is some stuf there we can do without it..Stuff like:
KMELEON.gif
logo.gif
powered.gif
mozilla.xhtml (The famous text mozilla)
But let`s face it...From what i have seen most of the developers are just following the others people steps and compiling K-meleon in a standard way..
If you look under the hood there is not MUCH difference between the main code used in others versions and K-meleon`s
For an example i downloaded K-meleon lite K-melon portable And K-meleon ninja along with the official versions and took a look at them:
With small exceptions here and there they almost look the same.. different skins and stuff but the main code is the same...Y'know..??
For example nobody ever considered to remove the hard coded 8 pipelining request limit, Which would make K-melon a lot faster than the other lizards around...
Nobody ever considered to compile a K-meleon with all the tweaks included
Stuff like :nglayout.initialpaint.delay 0
network.http.pipelining", true
And in the network connection are they ALL ARE THE SAME...
network.http.max-connections
network.http.max-connections-per-server
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Never the less all of them claims to be faster an meaner than it`s previous version..Go figure..
What i am trying to do is to see just how much of the fluffy stuff and eye candy can be removed and once i did it to try to compile one K-meleon lean, mean
and FAST...(Not only on startup but in the network connection area as well with all the limits in the pipelining area removed as well, and set to as much as a server will take without being refused)
Point is I am still learning C++,and it will take a time till i will be proefficient .
I was thinking that maybe i could raise the DEVS interest in making an ultra slim mean no limits K-meleon
Cheers
