Genuinely lightweight
Native MFC shell, x64 binary, no Electron, no Chromium overlay. Idle RAM is measured in tens of megabytes, not hundreds.
K-MeleonCCF pairs a native Windows shell with the Goanna engine, a Lua scripting layer that hot-reloads on save, and a built-in AI agent that drives the page for you. No Electron. No telemetry. No 4 GB on disk before you've opened a tab.
Every part is open: the C++ shell, the engine integration, the ~40 Lua scripts that build the UI. Change anything; save; see the result before your finger leaves the keyboard.
Native MFC shell, x64 binary, no Electron, no Chromium overlay. Idle RAM is measured in tens of megabytes, not hundreds.
Built on roytam1's actively maintained Goanna 6 (the Pale Moon lineage of UXP), with K-Meleon's XPCOM embedding so plugins keep working.
Edit any lua/*.lua and a directory watcher
re-parses it in place — no restart, no re-login. Even the
Preferences dialog rebuilds itself.
Describe a task in plain English; the agent reads the page, clicks, types, and reports back. Bring your own DeepSeek key.
Adblock Plus syntax. Edit rules in Preferences or just drag a link image to "block." The kplugin watches the file and re-parses on save.
Right-drag to navigate, with an optional orange trail. Left-drag a link in any direction to open it in a background or foreground tab.
Native tab bar, double-click empty space for a new tab, drag-to- close, configurable middle/right-click behaviour. Bookmarks, sessions, and history all built in.
Safe-browsing pings disabled by default, no usage stats, no "improve our product" toggles hidden behind menus. It just runs.
Open the sidebar, type what you want — "find the cheapest flight from Chicago to LA on Google Flights" — and watch the agent navigate, fill forms, and follow links until it has your answer.
The whole UI — toolbars, menus, the Preferences dialog, the right-click context menu — is built from ~40 Lua scripts in your profile. Add a button, redefine a keybinding, or write a brand-new feature: save the file and it's live before you finish blinking.
