Walk on Grass

Walk on Grass lets you run modern web engines in Windows XP. It's an extension for one of the last modern web browsers to support older PCs. K-Meleon is a lightweight, customizable web browser that still supports non-SSE processors, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and can run in limited RAM. K-Meleon receives weekly security patches and bug fixes. Unfortunately, new web tech is constantly being promoted by Google and some sites using these new technologies like web components may not display properly on K-Meleon. Walk on Grass adds a button to K-Meleon's toolbar and a right-click option for links, to open pages with a customized portable browser. It defaults to a heavily cutomized build of Chromium, but can work with other browsers for XP including Waterfox Classic and Roytam's New Moon 28. Walk on Grass lets you use K-Meleon for most sites and then easily open less compatible pages in a separate window.
