IIRC K-Meleon predated Firefox / Phoenix 0.1 and was the (or one of the) original minimal gecko-based browers. It filled an interesting niche at least for me at the time in being a capable, open-source, Windows-native browser when IE

The dislike button on YouTube videos is one of the few remaining signals that what you are seeing is propaganda. It hadn't occurred to me that this would happen (although it seems obvious) and it is unexpectedly frightening to me. I su
