Thanks for the update. There are some other bugs it looks like you aren't aware of though:
* I can't click the Maxthon-window to gain focus when having another window open.
* In alt-tab and when hovering over maxthon in the taskbar (in vista). It shows the maxthon UI but not the website that is open within maxthon.
* Maxthon still flickers (becomes invisible) for a short while when opening new websites.

Thanks in advance, with hope to see 2.5 as it is was meant to be soon .

I confirm this two in Vista x64 (for the first one, you must click on menu/tab/tool bar to get the focus). The third one here is not present, if i understand what he means :P
Other than that, if i close all the tabs, before the only about:blank page appear, the page space of Maxthon windows become transparent for a bit, showing the desktop or what ever else there is under M2 window!
Despite that, this version is surely better than the previous .4075, good work

UPDATE: this happen either in 2.1.5 version. Anytime I visit http://www.liveside.net/ Vista Program Execution Prevention says M2 has been closed. M2 windows freeze for  while and then all com works again!!!

Thank you abc.

Ever since I updated two versions ago, all my sites the links don't work, but with every other browser, IE, firefox, opera, safari and chrome it works.

If you go here: www.esb.ucp.pt

You will notice the menu on the left side except the ones that cascade but the rest, the links don't work.

Please fix, thank you

Long life Maxthon

Thanks for the new release. It is fast and great.

Rizzly

Noticed yet another problem.
Go to this website http://utveckling.bilddagboken.se/p/guestbook.html and wait for the adds in the right corner to load.

Voila, Maxthon crashes :P

johnnylegend

No crash here, without the ads being blocked. What IE version are you using? You could also try the site with script disabled (Tools -> Content Control).

Terribly sorry. Seems something with More options 2 caused it .

Edit:
You can cross off my problem with http://ie.sogou.com/testdead.html as well. Seems it all was caused by More options :/.

and find out that this bug is caused by MxProxy2.dll.

Looking good so far with Windows 7 and IE8.  Keep up the good work Dev Team.

Great timing — I've got a super-busy week, so I finally gave in and resurrected Max 2.1 last night for the days ahead.  

Looking forward to testing out the new, improved version 2.5, but I may have to cool my jets for a few days.

For what it's worth, I think the forced multi-threading is having a deleterious effect on performance for me.  It's not uncommon for me to have 12-20 tabs open at a time, actively working with many of them, and I've noticed both Maxthon and Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus living in the upper realms of CPU usage at times.  (1.5GB RAM on the machine where it's most noticeable.)  I know Spyware Doc scans anything in the virtual memory almost constantly when its real-time protection features are on — a fairly common behavior for malware scanners, I'd think — and I suspect that's causing the resource usage to multiply when using multi-thread mode.

(On the plus side, multi-thread mode has started to cause crashes for me during most of the 2.1-series versions, and 2.5 wasn't nearly as crash-prone as its immediate predecessors were when run in multi-thread mode.)

Just some things to think about and watch for while I'm missing the fun this weekend.

I don't seem to have problem allowing the ads to load. Maybe you can upload the config.ini the More options 2 in its thread so I could check if it is caused by specific functions.

Did you fail the test? At the moment plugins which react to webpage events (more options, speed dial, view video and some others) may interfere the new anti-freeze feature in 2.5.1. Will check with the developers on how to improve.

Absolutely a better version than previous.

this version seems to work much better. however, the hebrew wikipedia still has freezing/crashing/slowing-down/not-rendering problems for me , even on a totally clean installation of maxthon:
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/
i have IE7 , xp sp3 32bit home edition. on IE it works well.
to reproduce the problems, clean all of the temporary files and open the website. do those two steps several times, and the problem are suppose to come...

The anti-freeze feature is an epic fail imho. All it does is putting an gray background with a bit of text over the website while you watch Maxthon freeze the entire computer to death. The "testdead" test above first loads the described overlay site then a popup from Adobe flash player asking to disable scripts for they may cause the computer to become unresponsive (oh yea..?). If answered with "no", Maxthon will continue to build up ice on my monitor, second time the Flash player popup shows I say yes to stop the scripts and gone the freeze is. Maybe this feature is something exclusively for multi-core users?
