No; K-Meleon does not have that plugin/Extension.

But K-Meleon can easily start with another profile; And this could give You a similar functionallity as the Firefox extension. You would create a profile that has similar settings as the portable versions by alain and Douglas, or use the portable installed somewhere separatly as the base (that is how I would do it ).

Privacy plugin set to clear all on start and exit. Create no disc Cache ( done in Preferences )... And You would use the full privacy bar.

The Privacy bar contains some additional buttons that are commented out.
(Except Clear ALL //that has a bug// all others should potentially work).
Clear History, Clear URLBar, Referrer (ToggleReferer) - the full bar is quite powerfull.

No, clearing or editing history partially does not exist for K-Meleon at the moment.

If You use a special profile You can only set the privacy plugin not to clear history. You would then clear histroy on demand via the button on history bar.

Tools > Privacy > Settings > will give You access to details of Privacy plugin.

BTW. all data that are written on hdd can be possibly recovered and revived by others later, this is particularily true for Windows Vista which creates "shadow copies".

For info about forensic reading of history.dat later You will easily find links.

p. s. History.dat is in a complex data structure called Mork, only on older K-Meleon untill 0.9 that had history.txt You can easily edit that as simple as with an normal editor.

The Firefox extension called "stealther" does not support K-Meleon - even when You adapt its code so that no errors are visible anymore in Error Console.

The reason for this is possibly that it toggles items that do not exist with K-Meleon in the same form.

The Stealther extension is very simply tailored. It could be easily adapted for km. A simple macro could do the same, however.

A different question is how stealthy this Stealther really is...
