Comment: musthave for latest builds. Contains toolbar button and status bar icon with same functionality for your choice. - Dr. Web this extension enables prescanning of links with an online antivirus service. use this extension when you want to visit a website and not sure if its' content is safe.
menu entry: link context>link advisors>drweb scanner extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: DrWeb is one of the leading antivirus tools comparable with Kaspersky and probably better than any other competing product, but it's hardly known abroad. You can use this engine and trust it, but speaking about realtime link scanning I found such type of extensions unconvenient as they work on-demand and recommend use something like BitDefender Trafficlight instead. Another option is to install full antimalware suite (DrWeb or what you like) with web filter option.
But if you look for really light solutions, I guess you don't need such heavy tools - I suggest background webfilters like K9 Web Protection or DNS-filtering (where all the filtration is made on DNS-servers and do not consume your PC resources. The most known and reliable are OpenDNS or Comodo DNS.
The latter could be installed easily with Comodo Dragon, secured browser, based on Chromium architecture or with Comodo IceDragon - modified in the same way FireFox. - Site Advisor this extension enables prescanning links or a url with mcafee's online antivirus 'site advisor' to ensure the site doesn't contain any malicious files or scripts.
menu entry: page|link context>trust|link advisors>mcafee siteadvisor | tools>privacy>mcafee siteadvisor extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: the next 3 tools share the comment with DrWeb extension. So, if all you need is to check some link betweentimes, feel free to choose the engine you trust. - Safe Web this extension enables prescanning links or a url with norton's online antivirus scanner to ensure the site doesn't contain any malicious files or scripts.
menu entry: page|link context>trust|link advisors>norton safeweb | tools>privacy>norton safeweb extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x

Comment: useful addon for advanced users. Makes possible to manage individual cookies, protect needed and remove unwanted. Try it if you understand what yo - Cookies Manager this extension gives you complete control over cookies, like changing the expiration dates, you can also use it to add cookies to K-Meleon.
menu entry: tools>privacy>cookies manager extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x - Domain Blocker with this extension you can easily and permanently block a website. this extension gets the host of the website you want to block and adds it to the HOSTS file under a local address. additionally you can block a link domain and the domain for images.
menu entry: page context|link context|image context> block domain extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: this may be useful for those accustomed to using the HOSTS file in order to filter their web access. I think there are more convenient ways to manage HOSTS file but this addon probably could add some easy way to block some single site. - Hosts Manager NT | Hosts Manager 9x adds a menu entry to open your hosts file in notepad.
menu entry: tools>network tools>manage hosts extra notes: this extension has 2 versions. download the one that matches your OS versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: read the one above. I suppose HOSTSman to be more convenient way to manage HOSTS file but if you like minimalistic solutions - try this addon. - IP whois displaybar enables fetching a site's ip and displays it in a non-intrusive small bar. this extension includes a button that will open whois.com with additon information about the selected site or link.
menu entry: link context|page properties>display ip extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x - Privacy Mode enables browsing in privacymode with out browsing history stored or files cached. first install will set privacymode and auto restart k-meleon.
menu entry: link context|tools>privacy mode edit>config>update privacymode extra notes:- versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: really useful. RECOMMENDED for those who need browsing with no traces leaved. It creates new profile being set up not to save any personal data. This makes sense as the ClearAll command in K-Meleon, alas, doesn't really clean all the traces. - IE Killer sometimes some programs still insist on using IE even after you have set K-Meleon as default browser. this extension replaces the IE binary with a special exe that forwards links back to K-Meleon.
menu entry: – extra notes: to use this extension properly, please make sure to read the readme file. versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: this isn't an addon really. But if somebody decided to fully eliminate IE from system this may be invaluable tool. NB! If you are going to use IE Killer than you'll likely need CHM Reader (or CHM Reader 2) too. - K-Meleon Locker Locks the K-Meleon window untill a pre-set password is entered. handy if you were browsing and had to leave for a short while and don't want to close the K-Meleon window.
menu entry: file>lock k-meleon extra notes: to use this extension properly, please make sure to read the readme file. versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x - Policies Manager this enables creating different policies that are similar in concept to IE security zones. you can disable some content like javascript for a particular policy and add sites to it with secure sites under another policy with more permissions.
menu entry: page|link context>policies. tools>privacy>policies extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: potentially, one of the most powerful addons (contains macro+windows executable). It makes possible the fine management of different javascripts on the page. Sometimes you need to block only specific scripts but leave other ones working. This addon makes it possible.
The next point is creating groups with different restrictive policies and adding sites to these groups in order to apply restrictions automatically on site load. The extension is slightly inconvenient but highly recommended and irreplaceable for loading specific modern sites full of some incompatible with KM scripts. - Policies Packager easily export and import policy zones across different profiles or different installations of k-meleon.
menu entry: tools>privacy>policies packager extra notes: requires policies manager extension versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: partner addon for Policies Manager. May be useful for those using more than one installation of KM. - Enhanced History Manager this is an advanced history viewer which also enables removing domain and subdomain entries from your browsing history while leaving other history listings intact.
menu entry: view>history>history manager extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: this seems slightly inconvenient to me and doesn't add what I've expected from it. But may be it will fit your requirements more. - Anti-Keylogger with the usage of an external application, this extension can disable keyloggers which might be present on infected computers in public places. very handy extension for portable K-Meleon versions.

menu entry: tools>privacy>referers control extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x - RefSpoof similar in concept to refcontrol but with addition of protocols to easily spoof websites from the urlbar by using prefixes 'spoof://' and 'ref://'.
menu entry: tools>privacy>ref spoofer extra notes: extension uses components. please read FAQ for install help. versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x - Family Filter Proxy is a content filtering proxy to block offensive and non suitable for children websites.
menu entry: tools>proxy>familyfilter | tools>proxy>familyfilter config | page context>famfilter blocker extra notes: - versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x -1.6.x
Comment: one of filtering proxies like Proxomitron, Privoxy (functionally like K9 Web Protection, OpenDNS etc.) My experience with this addon was unhappy - like any proxy it blocks one of my favourite features - keyword site search in URLbar. Also there was some other glitches, so I was forced to uninstall it.
My favourite replacement for family web filtering and some parental controls is K9 Web Protection as it operates in background and doesn't break any KM functionality. On the other hand, K9's setup page is partly incompatible with KM engine and you need another HTML-renderer to work with. So give a try to this one and make a decision. - Enforce Password some websites like yahoo and hotmail disable browsers from saving the password in the password manager. this extension overrides those sites and enables K-Meleon to remember the password to automatically fill it in.

Comment: reported to work fine and being very useful but I cannot get it working in KM 1.7 where it is really needed. UPD.: There are now 2 ways to get it working: 1) edit macro replacing 'InjectJS' command with 'open' one. 2) preferred - add to you KM another macro, added recently by user realgy, which fixes not only LastPass Lite, but a number of broken functions in KM 1.7. - .Flashmanager Manage flash player settings and view flash cookies and LSO easily
