Handling high-resolution canvas rendering and multi-image uploads in Maxthon 7

Question regarding modern Maxthon 7 (Chromium core) behavior when running heavy browser-based creative web apps.

When using web applications that perform client-side image processing (such as canvas-based multi-reference image alignment, WebGL preview rendering, or uploading multiple 10–20MB reference images), I noticed different memory management behavior in Maxthon compared to standard Chrome. In particular:

Does Maxthon 7 apply custom memory throttling or tab-discarding policies to background tabs running long WebGL/canvas tasks?
When multiple large image blobs are loaded into memory for preview, are there specific Maxthon hardware acceleration settings or flags recommended to prevent silent canvas context loss?
How does the built-in aiMax extension or sidebar interact with page-level GPU resources during heavy graphics tasks?

(No specific website or external link needed; looking to understand Maxthon 7's GPU/canvas resource limits and best browser settings for creative web apps.)

Maxthon 7 may suspend inactive tabs, but I couldn't confirm a specific GPU-memory limit or a setting that prevents canvas/WebGL context loss. For heavy creative apps, keep the tab active, update Maxthon and your GPU driver, and leave hardware acceleration enabled initially. If previews crash, test with acceleration off and the aiMax sidebar closed to see whether either affects the issue.
