K-Meleon is a small and fast web browser based on Mozilla's Gecko engine (the popular Firefox browser runs on this engine); current versions use Goanna, a fork of Gecko developed for Pale Moon. K-Meleon is an open source project distributed under the GNU General Public License, i.e. completely free of charge.

The browser does not create a heavy load on the system and is not too demanding on computer resources. Especially with regard to RAM, K-Meleon uses less memory than most mainstream browsers, and it still runs on old systems such as Windows XP and Vista.

The main features of this web browser are the following: the use of the native Windows interface instead of the XML User Interface (XUL) used by other browsers on the engine, so as to achieve high speed of work; its own macro language, which allows almost unlimited expansion of browser functionality; and full customization - setting up the browser according to your preferences: you can configure everything from the main and context menus to toolbars, hotkeys and mouse gestures.

K-Meleon is a lightweight and fast browser with low memory use, its own macro language and extensive customization options.

The K-Meleon browser supports the system of tabs used by modern browsers, can use bookmarks from Netscape/Mozilla, Internet Explorer favorites and Opera hotlists, has privacy-respecting defaults and cookie management, can block pop-up or automatically opening windows, and offers many other functions.

An interesting fact: the history of the K-Meleon browser started two years earlier than the development of the Firefox web browser, in 2000, when Christophe Thibault released its first version.
