I think you are right there, Impure : the question is only : who will port it there !? I hope Roytam is continuing his efforts in that direction ! Any news on this?

roytam said that this needs some action from Moonchild and Ko to KM be able to migrate to new engine. And no action for now...

Numerous sites have stopped or are unresponsive to Goanna 3 (Tycho) engine recently. Unless KMeleon is ported to Goanna 4, i see a bleak future for the most loved browser.
May you list them? Have you tried alternative user agents on them? :s

So far I've only found three that really matter, and two of them seem to be in scripting or CSS... One works properly only in IE11, so I think a bit of browser-sniffing is behind that, plus the fact that IE has never been fussy about what it eats
Most of what doesn't work properly appears to be scripting or CSS. K-M can get some of it, but must drop the rest.

Just adding to my last (above), my Pale Moon is version 27.9.4, and easily shows most pages that won't render in K-M.
A couple of times I've tried changing the UA, and often when I'm spoofing IE11 {
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko} the page will flash briefly on-screen, then go to a blank white display.
My KM is build# 20190810 if it helps.

Someone suggested creating a zip/rar based on folder structure
of where tweaked files are. Place zip/rar in goanna main folder and then unzip.
For example, if a macro is tweaked, create a macros folder with that kmm file in it.
Main problem I find is remembering to add subsequent tweaks to
this zip/rar.

Customizations should be only made in profiles, if are made by you. And settings are always in profile.
Said that, make a backup of the profile folder before overwrite, even though, if we are talking about install one version over another, profiles aren't touched.
If you still make customizations to K-meleon root folder, the same, make a backup and overwrite with older files, if aren't core files, of course.
I don't know what is driving you to lose your customizations, but shouldn't happen in a "normal" scenario.

Is there going to be a Version 77?
I thought it said 76.2g was forerunner to Kmeleon 77.
is this K-Meleon fork on Goanna engine taken over K-Meleon 77 on Gecko?
will 77, if it happens, run on non-sse2 processors?
will 77, if it happens, be in a self-contained installer package?
I love this browser, built like apps in the days of old,
where (most)everything actually worked, everything was customizable,
optimized with effecient coding... no bloat, no rookie, no slop shots
On Windows XP, you're the last man standing.
Chrome, Firefox, Palemoon, Seamonkey, Explorer, NOT

Thank you for you work first of all. I have AMD Sempron 2200+ (which is 1500 Mhz without SSE2) and 512 RAM.
I downloaded K-Meleon Stable version which is without HTML5 support I think.
Could you please create installer for developer release 76.2G and for H.264 codec plugin for K-Meleon. All o.rthl.ml links does not open in my region. But Stable Release link opens.
That's 2 are must have technologies packs for really old processors.
Sourseforge packages ends with 2016 version.

Could you post some example where that o.rths.cf link exists and the exact text and link that it has so roytam or me could fix it?
I'd really appreciate it.
Remember, when reporting, give examples and/or details.

@Borut: httpS is safer, only the domain ending has changed to "ml" some weeks back.
The automatic replacement here seems to work nicely, but it can't change the database, or bookmarks, and old posts in other forums (msfn)

Doesn't work for me. I did follow the page 1 instructions, but when I try to run it, Windows complains:
The startup point of procedure could not be found from dynamically linked library kernell32.dll.
And when I try Win2000 compatiblity mode or to run loader.exe, happens fatal system error (BSOD) and I have to press Reset. I've XP SP2 istalled after the support had ended.

you need XP SP3 to run it.
if you want to stay in SP2, use KM74g.
