New Skinning System

Maxthon 2.0 has a much refined, and one of the most sophisticated skinning systems. Just take a look at the dozens of beautiful 2.0 skins available in the Maxthon Resources Center: http://http://addons.maxthon.com/category/MX2+Skins

Highly Customizable Interface

Few applications have interface as customizable as Maxthon 2.0, not to mention that without manually editing configuration files, installing extensions, or hacking the executable. Creating a highly personalized interface in Maxthon 2.0 can be as simple as holding a button and a few mouse drags: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?showtopic=62624

Ads and Annoyances Blocking

In addition to the good old content filter, which has also been improved to support regular expression, Maxthon 2.0 supports sophisticated text filter, which was previously available only in advanced and dedicated applications like proxomitron and privoxy. With text filter, Maxthon 2.0 can not only block any ad or unwanted content, also also block any annoying or malicious code: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?showtopic=62875

Maxthon Smart Acceleration

By utilizing the internet cache more smartly, Maxthon 2.0 can considerably improve the ordinary browsing speed. Speed improvement will be especially noticeable for users having slow connection or browsing sites with slow connection: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?showtopic=56889

Advanced Proxy

Proxies are often necessary for speed, accessibility or annoymity. But no single proxy serves all purposes, so Maxthon 2.0 enables the use of different proxies for different sites automatically. Setting a site to automatically use or not use a proxy can be as simple as a few mouse clicks: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?showtopic=62865

Multi-Users Support

Maxthon 2.0 supports both Windows user account and custom Maxthon User Profile. The password protected Maxthon User profile can protect user privacy without compromising portability. Both Maxthon 2.0 and Maxthon User Profiles can be carried in portable devices and used in any compatible windows system.

Users can use the same favorites and groups in any computer, eg. home, work, internet cafe, without using portable devices or 3rd-party web services.

Magic Fill

Advanced form filling function comparable to dedicated commercial form filling tools. Save filled forms for auto filling, and fill forms with multiple preset general profiles.

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.

Finally, 2.0 is here! I've been using Maxthon since it was called MyIE2, years and years ago. Feels great to finally have a fairly popular browser, and a totally overhauled one. Everyone should try this!

Does toggling "Show pop-up windows as tabbed page" (in options > advanced) help?

I remember when it was called MyIE2. I didn't think it was that long ago though! I'm gonna download this to give it a try on my old PC. If I like it enough I might even put it on my new one.

whats the deal with starting an account when you first install and launch

If you want to use the online services (favorites / RSS / collector upload and download) you must have an account, but If you don't you can use the shared account instead.

Crashed here while changing some settings, then all customizations lost when restarted.

Not impressed.

The same old question: A fresh install?
