Try it anyway and see how it goes Bryan84. Sometimes they fix things without adding it to the changelog (annoying). Plus the extra bug fixes are always a plus.

Hopefully we'll see the memory usage go down. I've been pushing for it in the private forum :)

i stopped using this because of its frequent nature of it crashing itself and the lag before connecting to a site.

and how does this compete with FF or Opera?--- its not as secure or as customizable, just basically a mock up of IE

Did you do a fresh install of Maxthon? I haven't had either of these problems but they are usually caused by installing several builds straight over the top.

What you said about Maxthon not being customiseable as the other two browsers is wrong. Maxthon 2.0 is probably the most customiseable out of the three. But we'll leave that to another thread. Also the devs have taken it upon themselves to add extra security precautions to help protect the user.

Make sure you have the facts before you post next time :)

I've been using Maxthon 2.0 for a few months now, and it is packed with features, the ad-blocker saves page loading time and is a lot less distracting, it loads faster than any other browser I have used (IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera).

Over all, I'd give this browser 10 out of 10. You can even create an account and wherever you use Maxthon, you log into your account and your favourites are right there for you. AMAZING!

Been using M2 for some weeks.

Had to disable the Trusted Guardian and open tabs in seperate threads to get rid of a freeze that happens on page load.

Not polished yet but pretty much ok.

I think they should just concentrate on polishing the current features.
