Softpedia Editor's Review for Maxthon 3 [Softpedia Edition]
|
A fast, efficient, customizable and easy-to-use dual engine web browser
Written by Elena Opris on October 21st, 2011
Maxthon is a free web browser which has quickly developed a fan base, due to its completely customizable and user-friendly interface, as well as high speed and overall good performance.
Maxthon has several amazing features that aim to help you improve navigation.
For example, there is an undo button for any tabs that you have accidentally closed, and a search toolbar with eight different search engines, new private window and new session options.
Saving an image, a whole webpage or entire content doesn't require installing an add-on (as other web browsers usually do) because now you have a single button called Snap (exports file as .png, .bmp, or .jpg).
External Tools offer quick launch to any software on the computer, such as Paint of Calculator, and there is a built-in notepad that runs faster than Windows' Notepad, which you can use to write notes, or even scripts and run them in Maxthon.
Resource Sniffers show page history and detects whether a page contains video, audio, images or just plain text (and you can download any of them too), while a translate button redirects you to a specified link for language translation purposes (default is Google Translate).
By pressing F10 you activate split screen for easy navigation between webpages (similar to Total Commander for file managing), and the funnest part about Maxthon probably relies within mouse gestures (by the swift of a mouse, you can activate a certain pre-configured webpage).
Let's not forget security and convenience - a built-in Ad Hunter blocks unnecessary ads, images and pages.
We happily tested out this web browser, and were surprised by its simplicity and efficiency, especially during this highly competitive market. The best part about Maxthon? Everything is completely customizable, so you can create your own web browsing experience. We definitely recommend it!
