    Softpedia Editor's Review for Maxthon [Softpedia Edition]

    EDITOR'S RATING:   4.5/5

    A free IE based browser that uses very little resources with less plug-ins

    Written by Elena Opris on September 4th, 2012

    Maxthon is an IE-based browser that brings something different to the table. Besides encasing the basic functions that any respectable browser should, Maxthon comes with a few extra abilities that might turn it into your browser of choice.

    Maxthon was and still is a source of inspiration for many developers. In a nutshell, it made them think that a browser can still be called a browser even if it’s bundled with features that are totally unrelated with the functionality that an Internet navigator ought to have. For instance, screen capture or translation capabilities are not defining features for a web browser, but Maxthon incorporates them and they’re very much appreciated, too.

    Besides these additional tools, Maxthon has a rich collection of browser-connected abilities that are also awesome. One of its more cherished advantages lies in the mouse gestures. By holding down the right-button of your mouse, you can perform a gesture that will make Maxthon go back, refresh, open links and many others.

    With Magic Fill you can fill and save form data, while the Ad Hunter module blocks ads and popup windows. The Web Sniffer locates and extracts multimedia files from a page.

    You can assign nicknames to websites you frequently use, and Maxthon will load it after you type the nickname in the URL bar. Capture the whole content of a page, or only part of it, without having to install any extensions, and change the text in the interface to a language of your choice.

    In conclusion, you can easily get lost in this exciting, completely customizable web browser. Softpedia fans should totally check out our custom made edition for Softpedia feeds and other goodies.
