K-Meleon Welcomes Habrazhiteley
Hello, Habralyud!
Not even ... many years since I got here, and now I can greet the community as a full member.
As the current leader of the Russian team K-Meleon, I open this blog dedicated to one of the oldest relevant browsers in the world.
Yes, this is not a joke - when Microsoft makes its plans to kill IE, replacing it with a new brand, K-Meleon will become the world's oldest modern desktop browser on the Windows platform. Those that are updated and remain compatible with the modern web until now.
K-Meleon appeared in 2000, before Firefox. Of those born before him survived, I repeat, only one old IE. Opera is no longer Opera, all the rest are either born later. or died earlier.

K-Meleon also had a difficult period of 3 years of lethargic sleep, when many decided that “Bobby was dead”.
However, a miracle happened - and the project came to life. And today I am ready to look to the future with optimism.
But these 3 years cost the browser very expensive - the general public, accustomed precisely in recent years to the insane rhythm of the browser race, has completely forgotten about the player who was not the most popular on the market before.
K-Meleon lost both users and developers (which is more critical). And most importantly - lost a place in the information space. Many of you have probably not heard of him, and many consider it a "corpse." One way or another, in almost no browser discussion, KM is not even remembered normally.
The Russian team in my face tries to fill this information gap first of all.
By the way, let me introduce myself : Rodion Vodeiko aka rodocop - it so happened that the main one is now on K-Meleon in RuNet. The man who picked up the banner that had previously been honored by such worthy fighters as Quicksilver Tears and Alex Tarantul.
I myself, alas, am not a developer, but I am engaged in browser Russification, Russian-speaking user support, I support my assembly as far as possible, and - most importantly - I promote the project.
Therefore, from now on there will be one more browser. And with the help of your feedback, habrians and hyktimery, we will try to make K-Meleon better.
By the way, those who wish to write their name in history can join us - the project needs new developers and just active users like the air.
What for? Well, simply because at least in the world of software there must be an alternative. And today the world of browsers is so prone to brutal convergence, that “with all the richness of choosing another alternative [to Kameleon], no!”
Why - we will talk about this in our blog below. Show off, discuss, catch feedback and just share some news. Welcome to our blog!
