Maxthon (formerly MyIE2) is a multipage browser based on the Internet Explorer core (IE 5.
x or 6.0 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.

- Improved Popup Blocking
- Improved Start page
- Added "Pin to start page" from RSS side bar
- Fixed Some internal bugs
good news
It looks good except for the new rss feeds and links on the start page
All I want is the Search Tabs and Recent Visited Favorites
I edited out the "Search Tabs and Recent Visited Favorites" from the start2.tem and now the browser doesn't connect to the internet unless I tell it to
Much like religious fanatics really.
How safe is a program when it uses the IE rendering engine?
On the other hand, you can download and install the Gecko engine.
You know, the same that FireFox uses.
I don't know the version but I know it was possible in previous versions.
maxthon is the best browser
Yeah right, they removed the whole popup blocked toolbar, now I can't allow easily and fast popups on specific sites.
My ADHunter works still great.
Also the adhunter extension also still works on mine.
PS: I love the new and improved start page.
i stick with it!!!!!!!!! 3;[size=2]
Im sure the common put down is, its based on IE codebase so full of holes.. that may have been true a year ago, but just look how more frequent new security holes are being found in Firefox.. You can only just use what you feel safer with and for me i'll stick with Maxthon.
its much better than any of these IE based browsers out there...
& to all the mozilla/firefox people, Sleipnir also can use Gecko as its rendering engine...
hav been using sleipnir since v1.4 and havn't looked back since then...
has lots a features: RSS reader, mouse gestures, Security settings bar (a unique implementation i must add), scripting support (browser UI scripting), & coming soon a plugin SDK
give it a spin...
Sleipnir v2 homepage
Thank you Maxthon.
I use Maxthon on my PC and FF on my Mac. It's a matter of preference, really. I don't know why people feel the need to bash others for using IE and/or turn the attention of every browser thread toward evangelizing the unwashed heathens for Firefox, their Lord and Savior.. It's a freaking web browser. It's not like choosing how to raise your kids or something.
And I, too, appreciate Maxthon's sweet improvement on what was otherwise a woefully inadequate browsing experience in IE.
Two different things mate [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But yes, great job for the guys involved with the program!
regardless, Maxthon is the best IE frontend, hands down. i still miss some of its features, but i've gained so much with Opera i'm not planning on going back. way to go Maxthon team!
