Dapple reviewed v5.2.5.400 Beta on Sep 19, 2018

Pros: Once it was a great browser small and fast

Cons: Now is bloated and unsafe.

Bottom Line: I was a long time user since it was called MyIE , but with the latest versions wanting too much control of your service and system . the constant popups are just getting worse. Sometimes it starts up in Chinese language.

All I wanted was the small and fast browser it was once , now it is just a bloated and unsafe mess.

Pros:

Cons:

Bottom Line: Now has a service running that you can't disable, nags you with a deceiving popup in systray warning you may not be secure, but what it's really doing is tricking you into making Maxthon your default browser. Got rid of Maxthon promptly.

Lots of little bug fixes and improvements being made with this 5.x version. Now my main go to browser. Hope this project sticks around. My prior main browser Firefox went south on me somewhere between version 45 and 52,and not a big fan of Chrome, and Edge is still flaky, even more so with the Creators Update.

Improvements since last review. Disqus comments load on certain sites where before they would not.

If it had sidebar bookmarks I'd give it 5 stars, I hate pop-downs.

Maxthon was reported to "phone Home, China) sending personal info to who knows where/whom. Opera browser does the same thing. Not interested in pgms that do this...Turned all windows 10 report back options off as well.

2 things
first the google voice search does not work
and
second it runs buggy lots of time outs
went back to version 4.8.8.1000
and these problems do not happen
so 1 star for this version

4 1/2 stars...
Just tried out this 'Cloud' version browser this last week after having left Maxthon quite a while back. Not bad, pretty snappy. Couple somewhat drawbacks... Disqus comments will not load on a particular website, so would assume maybe some others as well, and see no way to add a list to its built-in AdBlock, so for now no Fanboy Annoyances list, thus having to put up with all the stupid social networking gadgets that so litter webpages nowadays. There is a Flashblock extension for this browser, so that's a plus, so no more autoload of flash content.
Maxthon does have a forum, and I will make a request as to how to add Fanboy's Annoyances list to compliment Easylist. If they can get that resolved, this might get 4 1/2 stars out of me.

UPDATE:..... Maxthon forum was quick to point me as to how to add Fanboy's Annoyances list. Had to specifically direct it manually to the txt file.

This browser has included features which are not common in other browsers, I can not understand why everyone love chrome so much - it is scrap.
