IE Team Needs Maxthon

away from the overall experience in what they’ve assembled in a browser. I will make myself available to any and every Maxthon core or plugin developer to help make this a better experience for everyone. web browser, web browsers Related Content:IE Team Needs MaxthonCES Camp, TonightMaxthon Script ErrorCool OptoolComcast ProblemsI, BrowserTagJag in FirefoxPaying for a Web BrowserThe Hacker’s DietDownload Video Files [IMG]

I used to use Maxthon (back when it was MyIE2), but now I use Firefox. Maxthon seems a little cluttered for 'new users'. It's the Opera of insecure browsers!

I love MyIE2, and I have been using the new betas of Maxthon. In fact, I think that Chris's suggestion to use MyIE2 was one of the best pieces of advice I have ever gotten from Lockergnome!

I've been using MyIE2 for six months or more and I love it. I tried the first Max beta but it seemed slow as hell so I dumped it for an older build. You're not having any problems?

I have used Maxthon (MyIE) for over six months and I also agree it is the best. I have tried just about all the other IE clone browsers and don't find the same features. Mozilla/Firefox is good but it doesn't show all websites properly (my blog for instance)

Ok, so what is the difference between Maxthon and MyIE2?

Absolutely. I traded out IE for MyIE2 a while ago myself as well. Maxthon's latest beta runs quite stable on my systems—I've already switched to it as my primary browser. Maxthon completely blows away Mozilla-based browsers in my opinion; it's more customizable, quicker at page loads, and more compatible. I say give it five gnomes even though it's still in beta!

Microsoft will never want Maxthon!
It works on standards and they want to build the next IE as part of the operating system. Whish will introduve all sorts of new tags etc..
I'm sure Microsoft is convinced that all the standards that have been build for web browsers are no good, and they will reinvent the wheel and create a serious division in website compatibility.
I've used MyIE2/Maxthon for ages now, when I tried using Mozilla I found so many limitations it didn't take long to return to Max.

Weblord your comment
“It works on standards and they want to build the next IE as part of the operating system. Whish will introduve all sorts of new tags etc..”
doesnt make sense. Because Maxthon is a IE shell that uses MS's rendering engine. Whatever special tags MS adds, Maxthon will inherit too.

hi, i like maxthon a lot, but they sometimes come out with new releases still full of bugs. i've tried other browsers, but i keep coming back to maxthon. i just wish they have a “full window” capability like avant browser.

Interesting news: Maxthon has been invited as an official MS Partner at CES. See

I’v used maxthon since back when it was only known as Myie2, and I love it. I consider it to be one of the best thing’s to ever happen to browsers, and so the last thing I wasnt to see micro-suck putting thier greasy paws all over it. Because it would surley go downhill from there.

I have recently switched to Maxthon after many years with Netcaptor – an application which is, unfortunately, no longer being developed. Hey Chris, could you please do an article on what happened to Stilesoft, the makers of Netcaptor, one of the first tabbed browsers? They just disappeared!

Anyways – Maxthon has everything Netcaptor had, and more – aliases, quick search, ad hunter and an amazing array of plug-ins, skins and ad filter packs, plus a very active members’ forum. Recommended!
