If I always delete some def plugins, say:

\kplugins
favorites.dll
fullscreen
gestures.dll
history.dll
hotlist.dll
sessions.dll
update.dll
&
AccessibleMarshal.dll
newsfox.jar

Maybe there are something in components folder, that I don't need and may delete too?

Gorilla no baka experimented with it about two years ago.

Many thanks, guenter.
Nice info there.

Have fun KM..

Remember that was just an experiment..I managed to create a 5 MB K-meleon but the speed was not THAT different.. Maybe Few Milliseconds but that`s it..
However i did learned something about the way K-meleon works... In the mean time i ditched windows for Linux..
I switched to Debian/Arch now and i do not really use K-meleon anymore...

Feel free to try and experiment.. It is a great way to learn..

PS:Make sure you post your findings in forum in a ordered manner so that ,you know..... 2 years from now on an other one could learn from your experience as well

That's not about speed. In K-M with speed all is ok, even on def settings, etc..
It's more about - just delete components that not need anymore. More clean, and controllable setup, always better.

Oh, Linux it's good.

I am not expert in javascript console, etc.. And thats because I don't experiment at all or experiment just a little & more careful. components it's deep zone.

If I understand correctly,
info about /components files in the net something around 0.

Nice find.

savarese.org
The Mozilla Project source code has contained a not very well publicized ActiveX control for many years. This ActiveX control allows you to embed the Mozilla Gecko HTML rendering engine and browser into your own Windows applications using the same API as the embedded MSIE control. In addition, you can embed the browser into any ActiveX host. Given that MSIE is able to host ActiveX controls, you can embed Mozilla inside of MSIE.

We all have used versions of this control. This widget was used to host MFCembed.exe the ancestor of K-Meleon (0.3-today) and last not least K-Meleon.

Somewhat dated info about the control and a usable download from K-Meleon 0.9 times.

You can install the 1.7.12 control and run e.g.K-Meleon 0.9 in it, if You add the needed K-Meleon specific parts. You can also compare the included files, that gives perhaps a more tangible view than a list. K-Meleon devs included all additional ./components/*.dll that were needed for a full fledged browser.

If You play with the 1.7.12 control: The control has some limitations AFAIRemember e.g. with Google maps. K-Meleon 0.9's chrome also had less errors than the one used in the sample.


Some basic Info from the guy at savarese.org that is quoted above & that created a recent version of the control.

Xulrunner is the succesor of the control, sort off.
But Xulrunner ./components/... contains also mail dll...

p.s. MFCembed was originally a little sample shell that hosted IE's html engine.

K-Meleon 1.x chromes were again internally shaped after ideas from the embed sample.

So.. Some little info.

/components

accessibility.dll

Quote
(screen readers, screen magnifiers and voice dictation soft)
Executes in the software environment of the Gecko browser, to manage the program's runtime requirements.

appcomps.dll

Quote
(XUL-based view to display FTP directories)
The main function is the Web Accelerator. This accelerator pre-compresses text at the server side to approximately 4% of its original size. Also, the accelerator pre-compresses Flash executables and images to 30% and 12%, respectively.

necko2.dll

Quote
(HTML-based view to display FTP directories)
Make sure you are including the "necko2" DLL and XPT files. If you are able to download ftp files, but cannot show directories, you may be using the wrong FTP directory view. There are two different views to display FTP directories.
XUL-based and requires the "appcomps" dll.
HTML-based and requires only the necko2 dll. The network.dir.generate_html preference will make mozilla use HTML mode.
There have been reports that appcomps.dll is still needed, even with HTML displays... this is a bug that needs to be investigated further.

gksvgrenderer.xpt

Quote
(Scalable Vector Graphics)
Viewers such as the Adobe viewer.

mork.dll

Quote

Responsible for book marking sites and remembering Internet activities.
also contains web browser activity and logs them in its internal database (as a cookie).

Various visual representations, which can be in the form of numbers/seconds, filling bars, and others.
Created to refresh and enter a new Web page wherein bars or time rotations would be used to show its on-going execution. Together with other DLLs, the module determines the span of time the loading of a page might take.

pipboot.dll

Quote

Module acts as a relay point, which imports functions from other modules to embed features and protocols into the Web browser.
Its functionality borders on loading routines, protocols, and procedures during the execution of Firefox. It calls functions from other modules, including xpcom.dll, which allows the system to analyze and use the MD5 HASH of the application to be used. The nspr4.dll incorporates log procedures that allow the application to take note of the different transactions during application runtime. These can then be used for troubleshooting purposes.

uconv.dll

Quote

It is assigned to convert Japanese text into Unicode text and vice versa. Upon it's loading, it supports 12 various DLL files, all at entry point and related to the foreign character conversion.

wallet.dll

Quote

Enables multiple Mozilla based applications sharing the similar disk. Contains a core XPCOM file. Manages and maintains software within Mozilla's system setting of the actual framework.
Makes available practically all of the Gecko application's functionality as a component series, or as reusable inter-platform libraries, which are scripted from a Mozilla-based application, or accessed via the Web browser.

webbrwsr.dll

A specific linux version isn't necessary. With wine v1.3 the official KM releases work well, extensions included, albeit w/a few limitations & quirks, mainly aesthetic.

Deleted - tst - ok.

Okay well I did some of my own tests and I found k-melon latest stable release to be most lightweight. Removing the components as suggested did nothing to lower memory usage but obviously lowers the amount of disk space required.
I found the best method was to alter some of the settings, removing some interface elements but keeping the cache running, I managed to get it down to 15MB whilst watching a youtube video.

This link is to a pastebin which contains a little batch to auto remove the components listed below

Nice batch but AdBlock disappear.
Anyway after using this batch my KM starting in less than 3 sec. without Loader

Edit 4 (52 useless files):

If you see rem [need to check - who have this] this mean I haven't this file, so it need test. Anyway after batch made by Kahlos KM is little faster but after my batch mod you have Adblock, history and SSL/TLS working
Nice work Kahlos!

Ok fellows.
Today I run Loader to check how fast KM is and my browser starting in less than 1 sec! Wow I never used it! Without Loader KM starting in 3 sec. This is fantastic!

Loader is like 8th Wonder of the World.
