Bawx Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I used it, TONS of features missing so I couldn't really get full use of it. But if it's anything like Maxthon 1, it'll be awesome.

Rappy Veteran Posted October 27, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 27, 2006 I quite like Maxthon and did try the last beta of 2.0 and some bits I didnt like but I bet they would of smoothed them out by the final :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webby Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I use to use Maxthon faithfully until Firefox 1.0 came out. I completely forgot about Maxthon. I thought they stopped making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:: Lyon :: Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 wohoo new update and they've fixed backspace and tab button not working in a Flash interface too! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpediem Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I like this feature does it do this by default or is that an addon? It's built in. The proxy is so powerful, that I think we haven't seen anything yet. abc@home has already made some plugins which can selectivly let you choose what stuff to allow on websites... Stuff like, allow flash and some other activex components, but not others. This can also be site specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I never really got into Maxthon 2.0. I love Maxthon 1.5 but Maxthon 2.0 not as much. Now, these past few weeks with the latest build being .460 I am loving it. It still has a way to go (hell it's only in preview mode) but I am now loving it. I can call myself a Maxthon 2.0 fan now!

fr33k Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I hate what maxthon has become. the favorites menu doesn't break any more. the menu is stuck on the top. and the worst part I can't figure out why any of you find acceptable is: YOU have to be logged into some remote server in china just to browse the internet, and since I use my browser for everything from online shopping to banking there is no way in HELL I'll ever use a browser that requires me to be logged in to their servers.

Funny how you are so upset, and yet wrong on ALL your points. The GUI is so customizable that you can even combine ALL menus into 1 main meny that you can have display as a button, anywhere on the GUI. You can ALSO use it without logging in (which gives you online favorites (encrypted), on any M2 computer you log into). Guess what you need is to educate yourself before anything else.

linx05 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) Maxthon 2.0.1.1276 is pretty much complete for me when it comes to the way it handles tabs. All it needs is the 'quick close button' (same as the one in Maxthon 1.x) on the tabs and it'll be perfect tabs wise.

I have made the mouse action (gesture) "Press left mouse button, then right" to close a tab. Works really nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Suraci Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Bleh, I don't really like it. It's pretty much IE7, it nearly completely cloned the tab bar. It uses its own UI which is completely unnecessary and just plain annoying. It's even more cluttered than the official IE7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses its own UI which is completely unnecessary and just plain annoying. It's even more cluttered than the official IE7. I think that it's good to look like IE by default (familarity for new users) but be fully customizable to suit experienced users. Actually most elements in the interface can be customized, including the spacing between the toolbar buttons. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's great that they let you customize it - IE7 is on complete lockdown - but it still uses its own special appearance which is completely unnecessary.
