K-Meleon includes some other tools such as a page translation tool (powered by Yahoo! or Google), an error console for developers, enable or disable different menus and several import tools which support browsers like Firefox, Netscape, SeaMonkey, etc. In addition, K-Meleon can also apply different skins to the browser, giving it a unique style. The browser itself supports tabbed browsing not unlike other modern browsers but the overall layout does get some getting used to. You can also use this dialog box to enable and disable installed extensions and plugins. Options can be accessed by the gear icon which provides a tree-like list of different options that can be configured. The user interface of K-Meleon is pretty basic and looks less cluttered than other browsers.
