The browser K-Meleon 0.8.2+ "Wechselbalg" - once more

[JP Loken]

I have now tried the unofficial release of the browser K-Meleon based on
the Mozilla test release 1.8a2.
http://hch.uwnet.nl/k-meleon/

It's really fast!
Faster than Foxmail on my computer, and consuming less RAM.

It's now easier to start up with K-Meleon because the common features
"everybody" want is in place immediately after installing. The common user
will most probably only want to make minor modifications.
There is also some extra functionality.
The official version of K-Meleon is lighter on RAM, but with the added
features I personally felt was needed, they're coming out pretty equal.

This version, like the official, is also very flexible to tweak.

This is indeed a very nice build, but my lack of RAM keeps me using the
standard version (which is faster on low RAM machines, on high RAM machines
the wechselbach version is reported to be even faster than the already fast
standard version) The good thing however is that you can use the cfg files
on the standard version. I'm absolutely thrilled with KM.

I'm just playing around with it now. Seems very good.

This would not run for me because of missing libraries. In case anyone
else has this trouble, the needed files can be found at
<http://boisso.free.fr/kmeleon.html> in a .rar archive. Unpacking them
into my K-Meleon directory did the trick.

There's also a direct download-link for the dll's on the URL given by JP

These did the trick.

the wechselbach version

WechselBALG, please.

This is a German word for a child that has been snatched by the little
folk and replaced by one of these goblins, which eats and cries a lot
and will never walk, rather appear to die soon. In other words, it is a
Changeling.

Wechselbalg it is. My mistake, it was late, etc.

Heh, I completely overlooked that. I see it's an exe, which probably
wants to install them to the system directory; I prefer to have them
only in the K-M directory.

FYI: You can choose the destination folder on extract.
