I like Maxthon, I use it a lot. But one thing that's important to know is that it uses the Internet Explorer engine which isn't as safe to use as Firefox. I'm careful about where I surf to and turn active content off for safety reasons (scripting, activex, etc) except for sites I trust. If you tend to do a lot of surfing and visit lots of new links every day then you'd be better off with Firefox for general use.
Which one are you using version 1 or 2 (maxthon2).
thank .2.1.but after i put the thread on .it seaze on me .i could not even max out .had to shot dowm my pc .then i uninstall it .
i am using firefox 3.5 .
opera 9.6 .
so i guess i will upgrade opera to the new opera 10 and see what new on it .well i know because i did read about all the add on .and i will wait to upgrade firefox .what do you thing about upgrading firefox .i am not to sure about it .
The Release notes tell us what was fix, repair or add/subtracted, etc.
Whats new in Firefox. In this case 3.0.5
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox.../releasenotes/
Update time for me from what I read .
thank you .but they say that some of the theme will not work .
right now am areo fox theme .really nice .
i thing i will download opera 10 and see what up with it .good pass time .they call that testing lol
I love Maxthon!! (Well i use THE LAST VERSION OF "MYIE2" (Last version released before the name change)
You can DL that here: http://dl.downloadhosting.com/downlo...e2/m2setup.exe

this is not maxthon .it internet explorer .
i never use it .
first it is ugly . second to slow .
thank any way for trying to help me .

but in maxthon i cant not click on [use current] because it white .it not avalable to click on it .
if you don't know what i mean i will send you a picture of it .
let me know
It's because one of your security programs is locking the homepage so it can't be hijacked. I'm not sure which one offhand because I don't have SAS or Defender installed for me to look but you could bypass each one for a minute and try again.. or look in each of the scanners settings and see if there's a specific item you can uncheck to allow the homepage change (probably is).
thank fink .but idid find how to do it .
had to save it [as home page ].i am getting really good with that stuff now .
now i do have a small problem .
when i click on some of the catagorie in [view] my mouse pointer jumb to the left about 3 inch and on the top close to the toolbar .
is there a way to set the mouse pointer to stop it doing that .
maxthon as so many setting .
it really hard for me to do all the setting .
because about 3 days ago i was playing with these setting and maxthon did freeze on me .
had to turn my pc off
but i will tell you one .this is a really good browser for to play with .
am good now for 2 weeks testing again .lol
here is the look at max now .Quote:

all you do is right click on the tabs bar were it say [c:\ user\dad\desktop\allpicture .look above you will see it .then click [save as home page] that it done .
way faster then opera and firefox .
now i have to find a way to stop my mouse pointer to jumb to the left .it only happen when i play with [view] .
but it no big deal

my fault .by the way it is the best one i use so far .love it

I like the mouse gestures. Especially the ability to program your own. I've set hold right button and click left to navigate back a page, hold left and click right to navigate forward a page, hold right button and gesture/move the mouse down for "find in page" dialogue and hold right button and move the mouse up to undo (reopen) a closed page.
oops sorry,the last i knew that was THE LAST VERSION OF MYIE2!! (I see you have Maxthon 2.1.5 installed,did you get that from the link i provided??)Quote:

no dude .you see i did download the one you gave me the ling for .but before that i did download it 2 time .uninstall 2 time .yuninstall the one you gave me .then i deceide to try it again .so i google for the latest maxthon browser .so this is how i land up with what i have now .lol .
but to tell you the true that is the best one so far .really easy to set up .
you could had all you best site in the tabs bar .really fast after that .just like speed dial .but there is a speed dial to download in maxthon .i am doing it right now just to see how it work .like firefox. .
anyway i am still working at setting it up the way i want it .
so far so good .
thank you fink .but no i will stick the old way .like me old .i am not that good with a mouse .lol
Oh ok,i cant see the contents of the ZIP file i posted so i cant tell if it is indeed 9.27.68 still or not.....
This one IS 9.27.68 (Extracted 'MyIE.exe' from the zip file and checked the version number)
http://www.maxthon-fr.com/~myie2/files/myie20927.zip (JUST IN CASE THE OTHER GOES DOWN,ETC)
thank you .i will save the link .like you said if any thing go wrong i will use it .
but so far so good .there is only one small thing with it .my mouse pointer keep jumping to the left some time .but no big deal there .if you use the skin [shaana wmp11] and wmp11a .they are really nice .love the toolbar on them .nice blue .
i really like that browser .
my favorite so far .
I've used it for several years, but I prefer Maxthon one as opposed to version 2.
thank .
but in the version 1x you do not get the same skin as version 2x.
i did check them all .
there is also the classic version .
by the way cant i download version 1 with out over ride version 2 .
or having the version side by side .
let me know .
then it be easy to see by having the 2 at the same time .
like right now i am swish back and fort from opera to maxthon or maxthon to firefox
You can run maxthon one and two side by side. They install into different folders (maxthon and maxthon2)
do you mean .like desktop icon fir each one of them .
because right now i have opera firefox maxthon on the task bar .
then there is internet ex and my window mail .. all on the task bar .so 5 of them .then i run 2 browser at the same time .so all i have to do is click on one of them that are located in the task bar on the right and side .
so when i install maxthon 1.x i dont send it there .but in my desktop right .
thank fink
sorry .i will try it [maxthon 1x] just to see how it is .not to keep the 2 of them .may be the classic one to .then from there i will deceide the one to keep .
good pass time for me .
i live in old age security building .and beleive me the time is really long in here .lol. i call that .my jail cell .lol
ok i did try it .no not for me .Quote:

i did try to find a way to set it as p my home page .but cant find were to set .i mean save it as my home page .
in max 2 x all you do is right click on the tab were the name of the picture is .then click on save as home page .
i guess they did add that on max 2 x .
i don't like flat skin .

I personally like simplicity and prefer grey, flat interfaces so the skins available don't really matter to me :)
I have no problems with Maxthon 1 or 2 and use them both at different times.
