It looks like Maxthon development team held to their promise and delivered a new beta build for the web browser today. One of the most important features in this new release is optimized support for HTML5.

As such, Maxthon 3.3.9.600 beta now supports HTML5 Microdata and shows an increased score as far as HTML5 support is concerned, 452 out of 500.

Also new is appending the “Internet Options” entry to the proxy menu and a message that pops up when you close the browser.

A set of fixes is also available in the list of changes for this revision. Among the results is the fact that "Close with Maxthon" in External Tools should work at the moment. Moreover, the search results in the address bar menu are now more logical.

The mending in this build touched on the Magic Fill component, which would not work with some websites.

Get Maxthon from here; also available as a portable download.
