    I like this version, is pretty, but i feel is a little unstable.

  • Armin

    Looks a bit like Opera to me. I do hope Maxthon gains some market share so as to further provide competition. The only market that I can think of where Maxthon currently stands out is China.

    • nvm

      The Maxthon guys are asshats. I hope they never gain a significant following.

      • Andy

        Why do you say that? Just curious, I have no experience with them or Maxthon

        • nvm

          Read their official blog. They are truly a**holes.

    Yep, it looks likes Opera, has same functionality as Opera. Competition is good, but why use Chinese imitation, when you can have European original.  :P

      To be fair, they do look pretty much the same, be it Opera, Chrome, Firefox 4 or maybe even IE9.

      It’s surprisingly fun browser though.

      • Lou S.

        Looks like a combination of Chrome/Opera. IE 9 and Firefox 4 Look this way too. I do miss the “Plug ins Bar” , and why is there  no ” Send Link as…” option to mail Links. Otherwise it is pretty fast. I give it a 3 out 5

      Because Opera are arrogant.
       
      BTW:
      Who likes the maxthon installer. It is really nice. Is it written from scratch. (Yes It is a ripoff of the Microsoft Office installer but still.)

      • nvm

        Because Opera are arrogant.

        Eh?

          Correcting the text: “Because PEOPLE are arrogant.”

            To me?

  • Ichan

    Thanks to Ichann for the news tip.

    Yeah ten years ago :D

    Go Maxthon steal like a whore. :)

      Imagine my Inbox then :-) Finally, I can delete your mail though.

      Might publish review today or tomorrow.

    This browser is a joke, but good enough for China i guess, anyway don’t use it. They have managed to copy what ever is out there.

    • Ichan

      Give me one browser that hasn’t done this
      Better intact; Give me a browser that has introduced something ‘revolutionary’ lately.
       
      People forget that all this sealing/copying/improving is a win for consumers. I don’t care if X copied Y, if it means I get a better choice from an usability aspect I wouldn’t complain.
      Think about it this way. I love INTEL but would it prove a good feat if AMD was to die?
      Will it be good if NVIDIA or ATI rule supreme?
       
      Choice. Do not take it for granted.

        Well it looks like Opera by tabs and at lest web browsing works, you don’t hit many trees with this browser i give you that, but the rest is a bit for childish.

      • nvm

        Chrome introduced separate processes per tab. That’s a huge revolution.

        • Foo

          AfaIk, PCIE is the same concept and were announced several months before Google Chrome.

        • Ichan

          I thought FF was the pioneer of that.
           
          BTW: I find it useless.

  • Shane B

    I’ve heard Maxthon 3 will have Maxthon 2′s features ported to it in future releases and Maxthon International are looking for ambassadors ATM.

  • Jeff

    Im currently using maxthon 3. I have to say that it definitely feels like an opera knockoff.  Seems stable and lightweight. installation only took a couple seconds. Its pretty quick for being based off the trident engine. When I think of trident, I think of IE, then I think of slowness.  But its better than I expected, even though i set my expectations for this browser really low. But thumbs up for maxthon :)
