Publisher's description of Maxthon (Classic)

Maxthon (formerly MyIE2) is a multipage browser based on the Internet Explorer core (IE 5 or 6 required). It can open multiple Web pages in just one window, and it takes only a few system resources when you're surfing with the integrated user interface. The application supports special plug-ins and IE extensions, and its features include autoscrolling, form autofilling, external tools, plug-in support, a newsgroup-browsing mode, mouse gestures, customizable skins, and an Autohide panel.

Version 1.6.4 build 20 fixes a problem when unloading a plugin and includes a new startpage.

Editor's review of Maxthon (Classic)

A browser based on the Internet Explorer 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.

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".

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. This version, Classic, differs from the newer Maxthon in several ways--notably by being more stable and less customizable.

  by adssuckband on July 4, 2009

  Pros: will not kill you while you sleep

  Cons: * gay
  * shiny crap for itards
  * no added browser functionality
  * bloatware

  Summary: this is as close to malware as something can come without being malware.

  "Excellent Web Browser"

  by blackhat1211 on March 25, 2009

  Pros: Its fast, consumes less Ram, and guess what? doesn't hangs occasionally, apart from it there is a magic key, by which tabs get disappear(default ctrl+` or alt+`), Its second best to FF in security but overall Its best.

  Cons: Sometimes it gets error, and shuts down.

  Summary: Recommended for those who wants a strong alternative to FF, with all the similar but whose computers cannot bear the memory eaten up by FF, Its much better than any other browser.
