Bawx Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamoun Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 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.
