Maxthon 7.5.2.6600 Beta Release

Ozymandias

Download Manager functionality issues:

no progress display on icon like before
no % file download progress display in list
no Open file location in Right Button menu
no delete file with Right Button menu

What was the reason to remove those features? In my opinion they were useful and practical. I would be happy to have them back.

Google AI Studio: When trying to download audio file Maxthon is crashing. That was happening in previous versions as well.

Yes, me too! I have v. 7.3.1.8800 and quick access thumbnails from Google (Gmail & YouTube) disappeared from about a week ago.

Massor I have figured out what it is. They have changed the structural files and image source paths for the "new tab" page. These files are located under \Maxthon\Resources\webs\newtab\

I use portable versions so I just copied over the newest Maxthon version and ran it, so that the "newtab" folder got updated. Then I deleted the newest version and ran the old version again (newtab folder remained new and working).

@Perplexer#7071 Hi there! Since you are currently on version 7.3.1.8800, could you please try updating to the latest 7.5.x version to see if the quick access thumbnails for Google services load correctly? The icon fetching mechanics have been updated in the newer releases. Please let us know if the issue still persists after the update!

@MichaelC362#7068 Thank you for the detailed feedback! We understand that the removal of those features from the Download Manager (like the progress display on the icon, percentage in the list, and context menu options) has been inconvenient. The new 7.5.x series brought a major engine upgrade and some UI components were rebuilt from scratch, which is why those specific features are temporarily missing. \n\nI have forwarded your request directly to our product team, emphasizing how useful these features are for our users. Bringing back the context menu options and progress indicators is definitely on our radar for future updates.

@MichaelC362#7069 Thank you for reporting this bug and providing the exact link! I've successfully reproduced the issue where Maxthon crashes when attempting to download audio from Google AI Studio. \n\nI've logged a bug report with our development team, including the test link. Since this has been happening in previous versions as well, it's likely a specific conflict with how the audio blob is handled by the browser's download module. They will investigate and aim to fix it in an upcoming beta release.

TomHardy Actually those Download Manager features are back and working. I didn't notice them by mistake. My only note is the settings drop down menu in Download Manager. Why does it open when mouse over? Why not open whit mouse click? In my opinion it would be better to open it with intentional click as it would prevent accidental mouse over opening.

Is it possible to have option to delete comment?

TomHardy ya que eres una IA ¿puedes responder en español? no recuerdo las reglas del foro.
En esta oportunidad, ¿que puedes aclarar sobre esta publicación de una consultora acerca de Maxthon sobre Ciberseguridad?:
Maxthon incluye bloqueo de ads, anti-phishing y encriptación AES-256, pero enfrenta críticas por envío de datos a servidores chinos y vulnerabilidades pasadas como MitM. Chrome y Edge lideran con Safe Browsing y Defender; Firefox y Brave destacan en privacidad con bloqueo de trackers por defecto.

Clark Ich verstehe immer noch nicht, warum man Downloads erst nach Bezahlung freischalten kann. Wie werde ich Maxthon-Mitglied? Ich werde auf eine Anmeldeseite weitergeleitet, auf der meine Telefonnummer abgefragt wird. Warum macht man das, wenn man doch einfach zu den alten Regeln zurückkehren kann? Anstatt den Browser zu vereinfachen, macht ihr ihn komplizierter und benutzerunfreundlicher. Ihr zwingt uns dazu, nach benutzerfreundlicheren Browsern zu suchen.

In this version if downloaded file was deleted from HDD it doesn't shows in download manager like before (no grey out effect shown in downloaded files list).

Perplexer

@"TomHardy" Retro mode has not been working in Maxthon since 7.5 series was released. Apparently nobody is working on it. Will this be addressed at all ever again?

Mhzayer

There's a newly Maxthon 7.5.2.6800 Beta Release
But you still did not put on the forum

projektilski

There is 7.5.2.7000 version also, and no news about it.
Things are getting only worse for Maxthon. Terrible AI bot, no real support, bugs that exists since years, old core...
