For users who don't know, Maxthon is a fast, light weight, and feature rich browser based on IE's Trident rendering engine. It is compatible with most web pages like IE but contains nearly every the convenient feature - super drag & drop, mouse gestures, ads blocking, url alias, ...

Maxthon 2.0 (currently beta) does not only inherit Maxthon's excellence, but also introduce a lot of innovative/unique features and improvements:

New Skinning System

Maxthon 2.0 has a much improved skinning system which is as sophisticated as any browser. There are already dozens of beautiful new 2.0 skins available in the Maxthon Resources Center: http://res.maxthon.com/

Highly Customizable Interface

No browser supports interface customization the way Maxthon 2.0 does, at least not without manually editing configuration documents or installing extensions: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?showtopic=62624

Advanced Proxy

Proxies are often necessary for speed, accessibility or annoymity. Naturally no single proxy works best for all sites, so Maxthon 2.0 enables the use of different proxies for different sites automatically. Setting a site to use or not use proxy can be as simple as 2 clicks: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?showtopic=62739

Ads and Annoyances Blocking

Maxthon 2.0 is the only browser which supports advanced Text filter like Proxomitron and Privoxy. Essentially text filter enables modification of web pages source code on the fly. So anything can be blocked, be it ads, annoying restrictions, or malicious codes.

Maxthon Smart Acceleration

By utilizing the internet cache more effectively, Maxthon 2.0 can considerably improve the ordinary browsing speed. But by doing it smartly, Maxthon 2.0 barely fails to show updated contents.

Multi-Thread UI Technology

A technology (first introduced in IE7) which can greatly reduces the occurrence of browser lock up or crash due to web page issues, like non-asyn http requests.

Mult-Users

Password protected mult-user profile system which can protect user privacy without affecting program portability, eg use in a USB drive. For users who don't need portability, there is option to use Windows native user account.

Online Favorites

A user can use the same favorites and groups in different computers eg. home, work, internet cafe

Magic Fill

Advanced form filling function comparable to dedicated commercial form filling tools.

Security Updates

Maxthon 2.0 provides an extra defence against malicious codes, which can mitigate the risk of most upatched IE vulnerabilities which may affect Maxthon.

Flash Back and Forward

Maxthon 2.0 supports near instant back and forward function, and it does not consume several dozen MBs extra memory for holding the viewed pages.

...

Yes, it is an IE shell but not "just an IE shell". Give it a try and you won't be sorry: http://beta.maxthon.com/download.htm :)

The new history function with live (ajax-like) searching that filters out as you type is really nice. You can also remove any separate history item if you want :)

it does... it takes the setting from the IE settings :)

Oh right, it looks amazing the interface, i love it! i guess this is vista compatible and if it is im using it on Vista when i get it installed, firefox just looks silly on vista.

Yeah there is an option to toggle vista glass support in Maxthon options > Advanced.

For people who are still hesitated, Maxthon 2 has a flexible interface that allows customizing everything from the ground up, For example that's a 5- minutes-customization result:
