Hi Team,

As I was looking at my firewall I noteiced my Maxthon is keeping an active

connection to https://www.abuseipdb.com/whois/218.241.149.77 this IP.

Could you list all Maxthon reserved connections we can expect from

a clean Maxthon instalation.

 

Thanks!

After I waited for two hours for someone to connect to my Teamviewer, I just blocked Maxthon. Sorry to leave it after using it since MyIE2 times, but it just turned out to be the next spyware browser, probably using all users PCs as relay nodes for someone's interest.

If you don't believe, just check below which servers a clean instalaction of Maxthon is contacting upon opening the New tab homepage:

 

127.0.0.1 smarturl-up.maxthon.com
127.0.0.1 pc-newtab.maxthon.com
127.0.0.1 www.xxxivilization.com
127.0.0.1 pc-newtab.maxthonimg.com
127.0.0.1 go.maxthon.cn
127.0.0.1 updatedcs.maxthon.com
127.0.0.1 fastdail-imglib.maxthon.com
127.0.0.1 www.baidu.com
127.0.0.1 api.bing.com
127.0.0.1 www.warriorforum.com

All of them are unfamiliar to me and I've never willfuly even tried to open any of these.

No wonder that after blocking these it started loading twice as fast even after system reboot.

127.0.0.1 www.baidu.com
127.0.0.1 api.bing.com
127.0.0.1 www.warriorforum.com

anything from maxthon.com is related to the browser:

pc-newtab is related to QA page (updating the page, or downloading userdata if using a passport)
smarturl-up, updating the smarturl feature
fastdail-imglib, looks like a typo and should be fastdial, looks to be for the image library for the fastdial (quick access) page.
api.bing.com is used for url suggestions in the address bar
baidu.com being a chinese search provider, i'd say is probably similar to api.bing.com (it is a chinese browser after all)

Most of them are calculated guesses, the bing one i know is correct, and as such i'd say the baidu one as well

www.warriorforum.com & www.xxxivilization.com are definitely a little odd.

The main enemy of the user is the on-line quick access page - pc-newtab.maxthon.com

Dev's do not care about the constant complaints that the browser is loaded very, very long due to on-line QA page.

Dev's do not respond to requests - 

Dev's live in their own world...  unfortunately...

The offline feature has been restored.
