Maxthon 2.0


Recommended Posts

I quite like the look of this browser. I used to use it pre 2.0 until i started to use Opera alot which i still do. This is coming along nicely, just wait until the final version is upon us.

Also, a real way to seperate bookmark. please no huge -------

You can overwrite the fonts with the Internet Options in control panel. Click on the accessibility button to specify a stylesheet. Or just use the Fonts button to specify a font and the Accessibility button to disallow pages setting the font. Works for IE and Maxthon of course.

Right click it and select "Open all links"

That's VERY doable with Maxthons proxy filters. I for instance run a completly local neowin forum cache, where all script files, CSS files and images. The HTML code is changed before it's rendered in the browser to point to my local files instead of files on the neowin server. Loading time has gone down several hundred percent for me thanks to this.

I can also edit the CSS file to my liking of course, since it sits here on the computer :)

Changing fonts is also not a problem... The filter can look for font sizes on the servers you specify yourself and change them.

Thanks to the filter you can also do stuff like, Browser spoofing, cookie control. You can choose to only accept cookies from certain sites, etc... Ad blocking of course, Disable/enable activex on site specific basis... ONLY accept certain activex components and not others. Let Flash, and other comon activex run freely and block all others.

It's extremly powerful, more so than ad muncher actually...

Different shell outside, same **** inside.

I guess you were trying to show us how clever and funny you are? Didn't work. Uninformed and ignorant post. Wasteful.

Anyway, Maxthon v2 looks amazingly promising already. I love Maxthon already and only a few minor problems I encounter now and then bother me a tiny bit, but I still use it more than Firefox, Opera and IE.

Maxthon, in my opinion, is what IE should have been.

Either way, 2.0 looks pretty nifty. They still got a lot of work to do though. I lol'd at this though "The Floating Ads Blocker is removed and will be provided as a plugin."

Maxthon is my favorite IE shell. I really like 1.5.6 except for some annoying bugs. I just hope version 2.0 doesn't add a lot of flufff and little content, but it does look promising.

why did they put the menu on the title bar?

that's a really stupid place for it.

Maxthon 2.0's interface is highly configurable. As for the menu, you can put it in the standard location of windows program, or anywhere you like, eg. in the status bar.

Latest version looks like this... Built in proxy is able to patch IE flaws before they even reach the browser. So now we can stop the "Shells are just as vulnerable as IE"-comments :p

(small bug in the description text, where part of the javascript is shown)
