K-Meleon Portable Description

Granted, it can be argued that blocking elements such as Javascript can lead to some websites not loading at all. You will be happy to learn that the program permits you to create white and black lists of the sites that require javascript, cookies, images or popups to run properly.
Enables you to make web browsing smoother and faster

Moreover, the Mouse Gestures plugin permits you to perform various commands faster by employing a combination of right clicks and mouse movements.
In addition, the application comes with a well-structured bookmarking system that you can use to organize your favorite websites and pages better. Lastly, the utility comes with an embedded translator that enables you to view the contents of websites in the desired language.
