Whereas most software developers put out an alpha version, Dorian's effort is closer to a beta. Personally, I am not a big fan of tabs. Takes up too much viewing space, but I can see that tabs use less resources and they are the wave of the future I suppose.

This is not a gripe but an observation. Clearly, K-Meleon is based on a branch of Seamonkey. For whatever reason, K-Meleon is seen as an "old browser" by some webpages and therefore won't run the ubiquitous Flash components. That's why User Agent selection is there. For example, if one goes to something like the Disney page: http://disney.go.com/index where the whole thing is flash in the K-Meleon default mode, you will be given a message that your browser is too old. I noticed that for 1.5a the User Agent no longer includes Netscape 8.1 as a choice and that Seamonkey has been supstituted. Actually since Seamonkey is also recognized by this page as an "old browser", I wonder if the Netscape choice could be returned. Both the IE and Firefox user agents work with this page, but I don't see any advantage to the Seamonkey user agent when K-Meleon is probably perceived as Seamonkey anyway. Just an observation ... Again, thanks Dorian.[/quote]
