Maxthon 2 Preview Version

[chiskop]

IE has good standards, it may not be the safest browser but the guys at Redmond are very glued up with standards. Yes they still lack with CSS rendering and a couple other things but you gotta give them probs for having the bigger share of the browser market.

I'm sorry, but that just does not parse for me - they're right on top of standards, but they can't quite manage CSS?

I'm interested to hear from the Maxthon fans though, why? Why maxthon when you can have FF or Opera? Or come to think of it IE7 now that its got tabs?

Out of the box, it has far more features than Firefox. And, like FF, it supports plugins.

What in terms of features does it have that firefox doesn't?

It's difficult to judge with CSS, on IE7 RC1 all pages load proper to me, in fact, i've experienced alot of trouble with Firefox 1 but some of these have been fixed in Firefox 2 (beta)... Please elaborate on what you mean... Are you an Opera fan?

Out of the box, Maxthon supports tabs, tab locking, saving of groups of tabs as groups, autosaving open tabs when you close it, and some really, really nice ad-blocking (including a decent list of already-blocked addresses). Maxthon 2 extends this even more, making it possible to easily block stuff like Flash.

True - but many are probably over the head for most users ... thats why FF is nice in that if you want more functionality you just install an extention - otherwise it is really simple

The more installed extension, the more memory it takes.
