Way back when I had my version of K-Meleon (K-Meleon-db types.)
I had a locked profile for it or the FireFox profile replacement.
You can still do it today! I haven't did it with the new FireFox or Chrome
but you can if you want. Be aware it's like you are re doing your browser
and setting it up again so if you are bored give it a try!
What is a locked profile? That is when you set most files related to
your browser like the program files, and your profile is set to
"Hidden, Read Only and Archive!"
Why? So those files are not able to be changed it will be locked as you
have your browser set up as. A hacker would find it hard to change your browser settings if it is just read only etc. And bad websites find it hard also!
To start for one get 7zip so you can go through your files easy!

Me I prefer Pale Moon browser as it works better than FireFox it just has
less issues when you work on it! But you can use others just poke around
here and there. Set a file "Hidden, Read Only and Archive!" and see if it works.
If not just set it to "Hidden and Archive or just Archive!"
Also there are only two settings I changed in "About:config"

"layout.css.visited_links_enabled"
set to FALSE
"geo.enabled"
set to FALSE
In Pale Moon there is two files in the
"AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\~~" that needs to
set at: "cert8.db" and "key3.db" set to "Hidden and Archive!" Just remember 1983,
83 that is how I remember those files anyway.
"parent.lock" and "prefs.js" needs to be set only to "Archive!" those are the
main files that keeps Pale Moon running!
But you can set "prefs.js" to "Hidden, Read Only and Archive!" also.
Your bookmarks will no longer run so you would have to backup your bookmarks
and use the file as your homepage to open in every tab!
And that is mostly it. You will have to open the browser look in the profile
to see what file popped up and set it to "Hidden, Read Only and Archive!" then
see if your sites you go to works. It is really just a hit and miss thing but worth it!
Pale Moon is the easiest browser to work on, more than K-Meleon-db types where.
And is why I recommend it.
It only takes really just two add-ons to run good so there is less add-ons to set up and use. Well before you work on locking up the profile get the browser then get the add-ons then set it all up to how you want to use it. Then get to work on it. The more you do it the easier it is!
With a locked profile there might be a recurring file that pops up here and there.
So that is where you need that old program
CookieMuncher that deletes those
files as they get on your PC.
It is zipped in the FFILES you can download at:

You can do this go play!
The add-ons is at: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/privacy-and-security
"uBlock Origin (Legacy) [External]
An efficient blocker add-on for various browsers. Fast, potent, and lean."
The settings should be as:
(CHECK) Hide placeholders of blocked elements
(CHECK) Show the number of blocked requests on the icon
(CHECK) Make use of context menu where appropriate
(CHECK) Disable tooltips
(NO) Color-blind friendly
(NO) Enable cloud storage support
(NO) I am an advanced user (required reading)
Privacy (CHECK ALL OF THEM!)
Default behavior (NONE OF THEM)
Be sure to set the whitelist to the websites you use. And that is all you really need to do!
in them then set them to "Hidden and Archive or just Archive!"
"cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, cookies.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite.bak"
Then delete "webappsstore.sqlite, webappsstore.sqlite-shm and webappsstore.sqlite-wal"
Opening the browser and with the browser open when they popup again set them
as they are to "Hidden and Archive or just Archive!" If you do the same as the cookie
files it messes up sites like google types because they use the webappsstore's to login!
Be aware it is secure if you want to use it for getting on your bank or shopping online the browser might not work well being it is locked up for those sites to work proper!
