Editor's review of Maxthon 2.1.4.443
5.0 stars
- "Browse to the max, 2"
Based on Internet Explorer's engine, Maxthon is probably something of a curiosity for most North American users. It never really caught on there, but elsewhere--especially China--it's one of the most popular browsers around. It renders pages fast and comes loaded with features, as if Firefox came with 90 percent of its most popular plug-ins. Maxthon 2 features loads more customization ability, but sacrifices a bit of stability for the privilege. Its design is stylish compared to the old version, and its new approach to accessing functions makes this free browser more competitive.
All the basics are represented here, from tabbed browsing to skins to add-ons, and many of the rolled-in features make Maxthon hard to ignore. Some of our favorite features include rolled-in auto-form filling, the ability to set up bookmark groups that open on start-up--excellent for news or blogs, the ability to autoscroll Web pages, and pop-up and content filters for blocking ads and specific content formats you don't want. There are also customizable hotkey commands for such nifty features as auto-completing URLs, so if you type "download" and hold down the Ctrl key, it will auto-fill the "http://" and the ".com". The online favorites service is similar to that offered by other browsers, and works well.
We also like the super drag-and-drop feature, which lets you directly select and drag keywords to a current Web page or directly to the address bar. Maxthon is fast, small, flexible, and easy to use, and the extra features make it a browser we highly recommend for those looking for a change of pace.

Version: Maxthon 2.1.4.443
Pros: Soooo many Features and Options (to fix it up how you want it).
It works with Netflix and even online games with NO Plug-ins!
Looks like Mozilla Firefox.Cons: AVG Free keeps giving Pop-Ups every time I click on any link, etc.
When you first launch it, the whole screen hits you in the face with all the buttons and search bars and menus all over the place.Summary: I LOVE using it! It's sooooooo much better than IE! It works with Netflix and online games, but I just WISH it wouldn't make so many multiple "Found tracking Cookie" Pop-Ups from AVG Free every time I click on anything on any page to change screens.... read more >>

Version: Maxthon 2.1.4.443
"A good, fast,simple to use, no fuss browser."
Pros: Fast, automatically disables troublesome ads.
Cons: Slows after a while. Could be doing with tweaking to fix this.
Summary: An all round god browser, but it slows down to that of less fast browsers after a few days of use. But the initial speed is great.
