Version: Maxthon 2.1.4.443
"If you use Internet Explorer, make this switch!"
Pros: The pros are nearly countless. The ability to barely touch/drag a link on a page to open a new tab... the massive amount of tweaking and personalization you can do, the list goes on and on and on
Cons: There are some VERY minor little quirks/eccentricities but nothing to cause even a tingle of switching.
Summary: Maxthon has been my browser for a couple of years now, and as a guy who makes his living on the Internet, I have tried just about every browser out there. I don't like Firefox because 70% of websites are rendered incorrectly in Firefox, and yes I know all about Standards. Even sites designed to w3c standards look strange and incorrect in Firefox. So, Maxthon takes the IE engine and contorts it and tweaks its function into a browser that simply has no peer. Maxthon is everything that IE7 wishes it was and everything Firefox lovers love about Firefox rolled into one browser. If you will give Maxthon one good full week of your time, learn its features, use the drag and drop for links, you'll be sold. You'll wonder how anybody uses Internet Explorer 6 or 7.
