KM of course, what else, this is a KM forum :P
After digging deep into old stuff I found a version 0.8 with a folder "myskin" (just an own backimage), so  am sure I actually used it at the time already. From what I remember, somehow my IE had gotten buggy after a system update or such, and I needed something better. What I just LOVED about KM was it's speed, especially when starting it, the possibility to open links in background (finally!!), and that I could use a nice background image :D After awhile the privbar showed up, that was also a HUGE plus. And the SESSIONS! And recently Open-Last-Closed, all things I had dearly missed ever since the first steps on the internet. And each year more helpful goodies, group-bookmarks etc. :)

On the other hand what I STILL not like at all after all those years is the chaos with the favorites, because I'm usually too tired to always rename and sort them in a second step (Favrenadd doesnt work in win98). In the past I also had a prob with not being able to surf in cached pages, but that was only my own cluelessness, as I recently discovered ;-P

Must admit over the years I've occasionally tried other browsers, which I needed for things that wouldn't really work in KM, like downloading some videos. Nothing beats that Downloadhelper-addon in FF :P And sometimes they had some other advantages too that made me envious, but none really convinced me to switch. Not even sure why... somehow too complicated, although KM wasn't exactly foolproof either with all the shattered settings, and too dull skins (hey I'm a girl ;-)... or missing buttons... At any rate way too SLOW at startup on win98, FF 2 needed 25 sec!! The current version only about 8, but still doesn't beat the 2 sec of KM :D And recently I tried to embellish a bit that horrible gray default background of FF with something nicer, but no chance. Gave up searching after a few hours, and man are those FF-skins complicated, how shall one even just put an own backimage in there, with 250-500 files in one single skin, and their backimages divided in several parts?!

KM has it's flaws, sure, sometimes I'm green with envy when I look at other browsers (FF add-ons etc.), but honestly, somehow I'm always mightly glad when I "can" finally return to my good ol' pretty and superfast K-Meleon - that now can hold open 30-40 (!!) tabs before the old box starts choking :D[/quote]
