"i was surprised with this one"
by: Stuart
Maxthon 2 v2.5.15.1000
Pros: fast,simple interface,very light,easy to set up and seems to load all pages. Cons: none so far.. Other Thoughts: I tried this browser after fixing my friends old pc.He needed a light browser as he is using a pc from the last century. Glad i did as i was surprised at how quick and light Maxthon is. It would struggle to be your default browser but its a winner for general use or maybe on a netbook or low spec pc.I didn't have any problems changing settings,simply click on menu and select options and you can change anything you want.It doesn't have a million add ons like firefox, instead it has enough to keep you happy and change skins. Its main feature has to be speed,its very quick and on par with Chrome and Opera and faster than Firefox.Well worth a go..Was this review helpful?   47 out of 88 users found this review helpful.

"Has been"
by: MarkF
Maxthon 2 v2.5.15.1000
Pros: Not much Cons: Tried version 3...can't select where my downloads go...can't select private browsing...can't use rocker gestures anymore, not available...no more super drag and drop so that you can drop a link in a background or fore ground tab. Other Thoughts: Once great browser now just a piece of useless junk...stick to firefox, at least you can mod it to make it usefulWas this review helpful? 51 out of 107 users found this review helpful.

"No spell checker"
by: John B.
Other Thoughts: The new version eliminated the spell checker and it's difficult to find one that works. Can no longer get IESpell to work. A browser without spell check is pretty much worthless. It's also a resouce hog, I have to shut it down after a while to get it to release page file space. I've been using this browser for years, since early MyIE, but if they don't deal with the spell check issue and some of the bloat, that's it.

"My First Choice For Years....But I Recommend The Classic Versions (1.x)"
by: Uma
Other Thoughts: My favorite browser, but I would stick with the classic versions 1.x.
The classic version uses 4,000k to 8,000k of ram, has all the extras most users could want, with a vast selection of skins.

"Once , the best."
by: Jedijax
Other Thoughts: I used to be a Maxthon fan, and worked with it for many years, till Mozilla Firefox hit the 3.5 version, and I found the plethora of add-ons of that browser to put Maxthon to shame.
I guess Mozilla has a lot more support from software developers, and its community is continuously adding perks to the browser.
Whatever the case, once I figure out a way to fix the flash-lag in Firefox, I'll be kissing Maxthon goodbye, for good.Was this review helpful? 80 out of 157 users found this review helpful.

"New Tab button"
by: John Freeman
Other Thoughts: One problem with Maxthon2, lacking in Maxthon Classic, is that the new tab buttons by default will open only blank pages, not your Google homepage. If you configure the Maxthon toolbar Home button to open a new google homepage, it will lose the ability to take a tab back to the homepage.

"Maxthon 2.1.5.1250 Stable"
by: pctech
Other Thoughts: Good browser shell, but it does NOT work on Win98SE systems. The program author should clarify that only their "Classic" version runs properly on Win98. Even the classic version has some issues with a password manager, as it does not always auto-fill password info correctly, as it will often trigger opening a help menu.
Other than those issues, it seems to be a much better alternative to using IE.Was this review helpful? 190 out of 258 users found this review helpful.

"v- 2.1.3.2353 Beta"
by: mweizor
Other Thoughts: On 2kpro..
I know it's a beta release, but...
When I try to use the Setup Center, I get blank screen with notice to Enable Javascript.
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see it.
The Content Control won't hold my command (display checkmark).
My IE Security is set to medium ; I don't have this problem with any other IE-based browser.
From its previous release , the Zoom feature now works for me.
I'll give it a 3 because it is in Beta stage and the Authors wisely and respectfully listed what the update consistsWas this review helpful? 89 out of 173 users found this review helpful.
