A new stable version for Maxthon web browser has just been released, incrementing the build number to 3.3.8.1000. Also available as a portable download, the new revision brings to the table important modifications, such as image rendering optimization.

Changes relating to the Webkit core address problems like a non-working Reader Mode, issues with browser receiving incorrect Screen Attribute value or lack of support for H.264 codec on YouTube’s HTML5 trial page (youtube.com/html5). Additionally, some links could not be clicked in Ad Hunter rules in certain cases.

As far as IE core is concerned, the developer mended only one problem, with playing pop-up videos on top, while in Retro Mode.

Other components of the web browser have also been pruned of various bugs, such as the downloader, which exited without clearing downloading history automatically.

Maxthon web browser is available for download on this page.
