Despuit
K-Meleon is the most powerful pain in the ass thing I have ever used. Absolutely love it, am accustom to the give and take nature of things so makes it even more interesting.
Anyways suspension. Yep yep I use a very low end laptop so the cpu is worth 16$, so every bit of CPU usage is very important. Can't even load 720P+ videos on here using flash. Sites like IMGUR and a few others constantly kill my cpu when I am not even using them. The great suspender was on chrome (never use this browser, check your I/O writes/memory usage lmao) and suspend tab on firefox. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to use this app from firefox in K-Meleon or a work around?
2. This one I am very sure is possibly possible... instead of using flash like never install it and route the feed through a video player on your local machine? Like I am working on developing a new browser but omg it takes forever, so a way to just use an alternate video renderer would help with CPU/mem a lot. The datarates online are not usually too high so should render ok.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide and the reason I like K-Meleon is the simplistic interface, low writes, and low memory. Truly a model software to aspire to such benchmarks whilst developing your own.
NO a Firefox addon that manipulatates its XUL or uses part of its XUL GUI to remain in contact with a html page etc. cannot work. K-Meleon has a GUI from MFC embed ... etc.
Most likely it will not work.
Some pages can use html5 rendering. See this thread.

You can set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false. The plugin container is a resource hog especially for RAM and an extra process that can be switched off.
And You can use flashblock so that only wanted flash renders.
If this is not sufficient for some reason use a
download manager that works with K-Meleon / or another browser and play the video locally.
I have done it that way on another PC with VCL player.
VLC player going into the net. K-Meleon: Copy URL of Youtube.
And then paste it into the oppropriate field in VLC.
Does not work on all pages but on some.
Playing Youtube html5 and VCL side by side.
p.s. maybe help to improve km?
