Stay more detail on some iseful functions of K-meleon:

 

  • Undo last closed – open last closed page – useful, if you accidentally closed inset.
  • There is ability of fast switch between proxy servers.
  • K-meleon understands mouse gestures. Such function is in Opera browser. For example, user press right button of mouse and move the mouse to the left, then browser return to page back. If mouse moving to the right, then to one page forward. Such mouse gestures you could retarget if you want.
  • Build into RSS client.
  • K-meleon hold the ability to switch between users profiles, i.e. between different configurations, that is too comfortable.
  • Approval of scins.
