New Gecko-Based Browser Debuts
Published August 15th, 2006 in All Categories, Firefox Clones, Mozilla, Other Browsers
A Boston based group on Monday posted the second post-beta version of a Firefox knock-off 
browser that promises to start faster and consume fewer PC resources.
The Windows-only K-Meleon 1.01 browser is based on the same Gecko engine as Firefox (and the also-open-source SeaMonkey suite), the product’s release notes state. The code base, Mozilla 1.8.0.5, is the same as that used by the most up-to-date Firefox, version 1.5.0.6.
K-Meleon 1.01 includes tabs — though it dubs them "layers" — a find bar, auto-complete for URLs typed in the address bar, and new preference dialogs. New Gecko-Based Browser Debuts - News by InformationWeek
