Hello! "+ Added Reading Mode and Read alound switch to feature management" Is "alound" similar to "aloud"!? 😉 Since Maxthon is now TEN versions behind on Chromium, updating should be your #1 priority, above absolutely everything else. Still have the forced shortcuts for "NotePopup" - this should be optional during the installation. Still creates a second Maxthon shortcut in Taskbar, which is then automatically removed upon first run. Maxthon 5 used to install in 1 or 2 seconds, but 7 is taking minutes... can this be optimized!?

Maxthon PC 7.1.7.2200 beta + Added Reading Mode and Read alound switch to feature management * Optimized browser memory usage * Updated languages - Fixed an issue where the complete video download showed 'file deleted' after downloading - Fixed an issue with abnormal playback of videos downloaded using the complete video download feature - Fixed an issue with the display of the complete video download toolbar being abnormal https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.2200/maxthon_7.1.7.2200_beta_x64.exe https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.2200/maxthon_7.1.7.2200_beta_x86.exe https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.2200/maxthon_portable_7.1.7.2200_beta_x64.zip https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.2200/maxthon_portable_7.1.7.2200_beta_x86.zip

Hello! v7.1.7.2200 to v7.1.7.5300... Have I missed 31 updates overnight!? Usually, the version numbers go up by 100, so would have expected 7.1.7.2300 next... Why the big jump? This version still creates an extra Maxthon shortcut on the taskbar (already one present) & then removes it on first run & NotePopup still isn't optional.

Maxthon PC 7.1.7.5400 beta + Added Device management feature to the Maxthon account page. You can view the list of devices logged into the Maxthon Browser so that you can easily log out of your Maxthon account and remove the device. + Added option to create Maxnote shortcut in the installation window (formerly Maxnote popup) - Fixed an issue where screenshots could not be unfixed - Fixed an issue with incorrect tag in auto-refresh settings - Fixed an issue where the file name of the downloaded file was displayed incorrectly - Fixed a style issue on the settings page - Fixed known crashes https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.5400/maxthon_7.1.7.5400_beta_x64.exe https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.5400/maxthon_7.1.7.5400_beta_x86.exe https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.5400/maxthon_portable_7.1.7.5400_beta_x64.zip https://github.com/maxthon/Maxthon/releases/download/7.1.7.5400/maxthon_portable_7.1.7.5400_beta_x86.zip

in 7.1.7.5400 it started downloading video, but in fact it’s not downloading but capturing video in real time - that’s not interesting to me!

Hi MichaelC362, have already feedback to the development team and management about the update of Chromium and they will look into it. This option will be added in 2400 version. MX7 includes more additional new features which may require a little extra time for installation compared to MX5. However, installation should still be done within a minute or so. In case if installation takes way longer time/ hang / fail, do notify us and we will look into it immediately.

Hi SirNasso, request recorded.

Another issue (don't know if I should call it a problem) continues. I think it has been like this even in the old versions, before v7. When I open a link which leads to pdf file, and chose to Open it instead of Download, it is shown in the new tab via the PDF plugin. I want to make it open the Acrobat reader I have installed in the PC, not hte extension, but could'nt find a working option for that. When the file is downloaded everything is fine. Not sure what will happen if I just remove the extension, but there are some cases when it is helpfull.

You can do it in a long way: 1) LMB on the "shield" - "View site information" 2) Cookies and site data 3) Manage cookies and site data 4) Delete some site information

First impressions 1. Maxthon started without the empty locked tabs issue 👍 2. It was faster than the previous beta👍 3. It's now opened with quite a few instances than the previous beta👍 and taking less memmory (but this has to be tested in longer working periods to be sure but still promissing 4. It didn't lose the default browser taking over of links from thunderbird 👍

Upon first impressions if this version, it takes about 30-50% less ram, than the previous ones. So we may count this is fixed, for now.

I already wrote about this once. But for some reason no one cares. I always try to write in English, but not in this case.

When are you going to release a version of Maxthon for Windows 10/11 with an updated version of Chromium?

I noticed increased RAM usage and it causing issue with loading pages after some time of running Maxthon. Any update on that issue?

Hello! For a while now (multiple releases), I've noticed a massive performance drop in the afternoons on a work's PC (i5-7500T - 2.7GHz, 4 core, 6MB L3 & 4GB RAM). Pages become unresponsive (repeated wait/cancel prompts) & everything is sooooo much slower. If I exit Maxthon, wait for it to clear from Task Manager & then reload & open the same websites (i.e. same number of tabs containing the same web pages), it's MUCH more responsive & is using ~800MB less RAM! I have nothing else running during the day, except occasionally Notepad or File Explorer. This implies either a memory leak somewhere or caching issue as far more memory is allocated than should be (confirmed upon reloading)

Hi MichaelC362, do you see the following prompt upon installing? Hi Magdalene, was there an error message or the installation window show in a flash and disappear?

i wrote some script, you can use it to parse your passwords to csv file for import in another browsers. Link to my script

I just installed the x64.exe version and there was no problem. Win'11 Pro x64

Can you put that in the top menu "Release Notes" as "MX7" or something?

Thanks for checking this out. It was a false alarm from me. The error message was due to not being signed in and exceeding the number of pages viewed without being a subscriber. Previously a message would tell you that you need to sign in and not issue instead an obscure client side problem message.

Hi MichaelC362, you may download and install the latest 5301 version and before installing, uncheck the option 'Create NotePopup shortcut' in the installing popup.

Hello! I totally forgot about it. It was once, but I guess when I restarted Maxthon or when I restarted laptop it disappeared. Now it's not part of the menu. Interesting. If I see it again, I'll tell you with screenshot.

Hi, any news regarding Manifest V2? This is still a very important issue. If Maxthon stops supporting Manifest V2 it might lose many users, including myself (and I've been using it for 10 years at least). Ublock Origin which depends on Manifest V2 (Not 3) is a must-have.

Hi Mhzayer, I will record your request for the team's consideration.

Thank you

Solved in v.7.1.7.2200 (haven't tried .2100) Thank you

After leaving Maxthon running for a day or so It gets up to 5600 MB So there's an issue with it for sure

Here is with the Maxthon portable 7.1.6.2200

For comparison I opened all my Maxthon opened tabs in Chrome Version 119.0.6045.124 (Official Build) (64-bit) Here is the memorry comparison

This version is messing with file association. .webm and .webp files keep on reverting to opening with maxthon everytime the browser is closed and reopened no matter if I change the association in windows. What's worse is the option to choose file association is no longer available. It used to be under settings>default app settings with checkboxes.

"Also noted, on Quick Launch, the search box engine had been changed from DuckDuckGo to Google Max." That's been happening for at least 2 versions. Quote feature doesn.t work in MX Forum

Hi phoenix-76, thanks alot for the link. I have forwarded the link to the development team for their checking and consideration.

Thank you for the clarification!

Hello. The point is not even the flickering itself, but the fact that first one background is loaded, then the other. This was not the case before the release of the version I mentioned. And this is in any mode - user background or Daily. Look at the frames: If loading the background is causing problems, is it possible to implement a feature that simply fills the background with a selected color? Currently, the "no background" mode leaves the screen white, which is not very attractive.

Hi xxxxx, have reported bug to the development team for them to look into it.

since 7.1.6.xxx (I believe after 7.1.6.1200) I often get tab crashes due to `out of memory` error this is on 2 different systems, one with win11 32GB ram and the other with win10 64GB ram. I doubt ram is the actual issue (this happens with less than 50 tabs opened). it may be related to addons, but it used to work well and stable using the same addons in previous versions (never had that out of memory crash issue before recent versions). crash can happen on random sites (happened on youtube, discord, shotgrid, google slides,...). this is using portable Maxthon

1. The background flickering bug remains. When, when opening a new tab, one background is loaded first, and then the one specified in the user’s settings. This can be clearly seen when the video is paused. The more tiles there are in a new tab, the longer the delay between loading the two backgrounds. This sometimes appears in version 7.1.6.1100, where they added "New setting added for the new tab page - switch for daily background image update." And it became a constant problem since version 7.1.6.1200, when they added the optimization "New tab page background image logic optimization..." Background in MX 2023-11-01 15-22-50-563.mp4 2. I don’t see or understand the fundamental difference between two similar functions - Bookmarks and MaxNote. Why is this done?

Thx

The tab unlock issue is fixed on this version Everything looks fine except for Netflex of course

This version is much better than all the previous ones. I've been using it for three days, so far so good

I have Version7.1.6.2100 and I noticed increased RAM usage. There are situations where I have to restart Maxthon, because pages don't load anymore. Is this some kind of known bug? I don't remember having such problem in Version7.1.6.1000.

+ Added Reading Mode + Added Read Aloud feature + Added Maxthon coin acquisition feature (By Bright Data) + Added Settings - Advanced Settings - Laboratory + Added web scrollbar double-click top to scroll to the top, double-click bottom to scroll to the bottom * Updated multilingual translation * Optimized note performance, improved search speed * Enhanced new tab interaction and card design - Fixed known issues

Why are the last two beta versions not published here? https://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/release-notes6/

Hi MichaelC362 @SirNasso, I have feedback to the development team about this RAM issue for them to check on it.

I too notice increased ram usage and slowing down of the whole browser work. THe more I use it without restarting it, the more it slows down. After restart of browser everything is back to normal. But after prolonged use, it starts slowing down and eating system resources. It started few versions back, but can't recall when exactly.
