I'm using K-Meleon v. 1.02 and loving every second of it. It's like Firefox... before the bells and whistles shat all over it.
So, what's K-Meleon capable of?
The one important thing it doesn't do is hog between 250 and 480 megabytes of memory. In fact, the highest memory footprint I've seen with K-Meleon is a mere 51MB!
It's not all roses though. The big bummer for me is that it lacks Firefox's massive selection of useful extensions / plugins. K-Meleon also hasn't had a new release since September of 2006.
All K-Meleon needs is a little more traction, a snazzy new logo, a fresh non-sourceforge website (ahem), and some other bloggers talking it up.
Jeez, I'll try anything these days. FF blows.
Tom, I expect you to be one of the fellow bloggers talking this application up. I've been using it fulltime for four days and I'm still satisfied.
Yep, I'm liking it thus far. Expect a grandiose post in the near future about how it's better than FF or IE7.

Certainly missing a few nifty features, like RSS, but I guess that's the trade off if you want a web browser that actually browses without eating CPU cylces or memory.
