It looks like they were all packed in a mode that only stores files, which is not bad, except that if you wanted to try putting Flock on a USB Key drive, it takes up a bit of extra space. My prior experience with K-Meleon gave me an understanding of what would be safe for compression and in general, how far to go.

Trust me on this. Install it into a brand new directory, as bare bones as you can get it, and tell me how much space it takes up on a Windows system. Only thing small about Firesomething is that its installer is being compressed with the 7-Zip algorithm instead of just zip or bzip2. :) Trust me when I say Firesomething is huuuuuge. :) I also wouldn't even consider using it if it were based on KHTML. KHTML is *nasty*. :X (Presto isn't much better: It breaks for WordPress. :D) No, Firesomething isn’t that small. Trust me on this.

I don’t know K-Meleon, but the first thing that came to my mind is how nasty that it isn’t a KHTML browser but a Gecko one, with such a name.
