Version: Maxthon 2.1.2.649
"Really excellent"
Pros: Don't make the mistake of thinking of this as just another Internet Explorer shell. Maxthon uses the Trident rendering engine embedded in Windows, as does IE, but it's an entirely different UI. Using Trident, almost all web pages will render as their designers intended. Many of the features included as standard in Maxthon are only obtainable as extensions in Firefox 3.0, if at all, and this goes for security features as well.
Cons: Very little to dislike. A proper English help file would be good, however, rather than just an online community FAQ. Experienced browser users will find Maxthon intuitive enough, but novices may need more introduction than the (excellent as far as it goes) post-installation walk-though.
