Maxthon 3 - What do you guys think?


Recommended Posts

Chrome actually has its own engine. It doesn't just use the same engine as Safari. Both are WebKit, but definitely not identical.

Does Maxthon use its own customized WebKit engine like Chrome does, or does it just slap in a standard engine from somewhere else?

There's no such thing as a "customized" WebKit engine, at least not in Chrome. Google has Chrome developers working on upstream WebKit code, and slaps in standard but different versions of WebKit from Safari into Chrome, but that's about it. They haven't forked WebKit, if that's what you're trying to claim.

If you intend to insist on your nonsense, though, try to provide some evidence for it.

No, that's not "about it." They haven't created a complete fork, but it's not plain WebKit. At least not last time I checked.

IE8 came out March 19th, 2009. Google Chrome came out September 2nd, 2008. See where I am going to this? IE8, was in test for several months with said features, Google was testing it for several months with sandboxing being around since v1. Again, do your research. Chrome had it first. So... you were right they do have it in there, but you were wrong to think IE had it first.

 

Funny, Maxthon was the first browser to offer sandboxed tabs in the 2007.
