IE/Firefox market share - who do you believe?

Best feature in Maxthon (and Avant) is mouse gestures. I set up the mouse to scroll back and forth in webpages by simple left/right mouse holds and clicks. Hold left button/click right to go forward, Hold right button, click left to go back.

Mouse movements are also able to perform various browsing tasks but I don't use them much.

I'm using version 1 as well, although I've managed to get version 2 pretty close to where I like. There's just a few little things about version 1 that I prefer, and version 2 uses as much resource as Firefox or Opera do. One of the things I liked about Maxthon was its low resource use.

Currently using FF 2.0, had to roll back from FF3 which locked every click have dabled with Opera 9.50 but it didn't get on with Yahoo messenger, but was very impressed with its speed (low resource?), so still use it as a pure browser.

ie I only use with bbc iPlayer (tho I hear there is a FF patch available) which I will eventually check out.

Never heard of maxthon, but will check it out

Thank you all for reminding me of Maxton. I tried it years ago on an XP system, must have been v1, and did not like it as much as Firefox then. I installed v2 and quite like it. It seems much faster than Firefox 3 on my system.

it is faster on my vista system, i like maxthon a lot just went to 2 and am liking it so far

I've tried Maxthon two, and while it does render pages a little faster, it's just not yet usable for me. Maybe one day.
