Source: IOL Technology (Software) Washington - When it comes to web browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Google's Chrome get all the attention.

I take it you use the privacy buttons often? Often enough to warrant it to be easily accesable at a click of a button. I don't use it often so prefer it dedicated to tabs personally

Hi For ages now I've been 'suggesting' K-meleon to software download site Snapfiles but, to no avail I've even had my friends (several) submit K-meleon in the past.
