Maxthon’s Cloud Browser Sets You Free
Category: browser
Short Description: Maxthon Cloud Browser for Windows uses a unique, innovative dual-core design that uses both Webkit and Trident. Fast and efficient, our dual-core design displays all web pages quickly and reliably. With its first-place HTML 5 support and ‘out of the box’ features you can‘t get anywhere else, Maxthon Cloud Browser for Windows frees people to share and send files among different devices and platforms, easily.
Details: There are plenty of good things about Maxthon. There are a number of features built-in which require add-ons in other browsers: An ad blocker, a content scraper/downloader, and a screen splitter, for example. Private browsing occurs by opening a second window, which can then be filled with private tabs. This isnt as convenient as Operas mixing of private and non-private tabs, but its better than Firefoxs purely modal method. The Favorites bar (when did we stop calling them bookmarks?) includes a Most Favorite tab and an automatically-filled Most Visited tab. Also, theres a Mute button, ideal for when a website begins unexpectedly blaring at you.
Some things are less than perfect. Maxthons video downloader doesnt work currently in YouTube, though the developers claim a fix is forthcoming soon. (The MyDownloader plug-in in Firefox still works fine.) While it may be a minor point, I like a standard, across-the-top menu bar, and theres no option to display one.
