Flexible Mozilla-based web browser

K-Meleon is an open source browser based on the Gecko rendering engine used by Mozilla. Looking like a bit of a cross between Firefox and Internet Explorer, it should be easy for most users to get to grips with - even if they do insist on refering to browser tabs as 'layers'.
