Hello! I run Maxthon on multiple computers & use it every day & none of the recent versions have had crashes, random or otherwise for me. In the past, I've had it simply exit out, with no error reported or recorded, but not for quite a while (not at all in v7). There's still plenty of reported bugs that haven't been fixed for many years, it's still using out-dated Chromium & it still has account or sync issues occasionally, where I lose something (e.g. QA), but often just need to re-sign-in or, worse case, copy a backup file & everything's back up ok. So, for the people who are getting crashes, this implies there could be a localized issue on their computers... Mostly this is down to running poor security (i.e. AVG, Avast, McAfee, etc), meaning infections or corruption in Windows. Or have unsafe software (e.g. Google Chrome, Adobe Acrobat, Java, etc) running in the background that allowed some infection in, bypassing whichever anti-virus they have. Having worked in computer servicing & support for the last 28 years, this is something I've seen a LOT on customer's computers. With Google Chrome, for the last 13 years, 100% of computers I've seen it installed on, even if they've never run it even once (it runs in the background, 'stealing' your data, in real-time) & irrespective of which anti-virus was installed, if they'd been on the internet for a bit, then ALL of them were infected, no exceptions. There's a lot of 'questionable' extensions in the Chrome store, so we always recommend reading reviews before installing & don't just read the good, read the bad too & see why they say it's bad. Or there's a hardware issue, most likely faulty/failing RAM (check with 'MemTest86') or HDD/SSD (check with 'CrystalDiscInfo' or, ideally, 'HDAT2'), or overheating issues (common with CPU or motherboard, check with 'CPUid's HWMonitor'), or overloaded PSU (i.e. insufficient amps for what's connected), making computer unstable. Out-of-date software, that has vulnerabilities that are actively being exploited by malicious websites or attackers is another common cause of issues (we recommend 'Patch My PC' to help with that) or out-of-date device drivers that aren't fully compatible with the running Windows version & release (just because something worked before, in the same version of Windows, doesn't mean it'll still run ok in the current release... we recommend 'Snappy Driver Installer Origin' to update drivers). Out-of-date firmware in hardware is not a quick or easy one to check or fix, but it's another possibility, although much less common. Obviously, bringing & keeping Chromium up-to-date would avoid a lot of the issues reported anyway & having latest Chromium stable in Maxthon stable & latest Chromium beta in Maxthon beta, would be the best way to check problems. If everyone got the same problems, then obviously, Maxthon would be the culprit, but since they don't, then users must first look to their own setup to see if anything they have is causing Maxthon to misbehave. Yes, Maxthon does have & has had lots of issues, but not everyone experienced all those issues, so maybe Maxthon isn't always the one to blame!?

So, while I'm absolutely FOR you working on "little features" which give us users actual ISSUES when using the browser, that we need fixed or added, I don't understand why you're working on "non-priority" Features, like the ones you added to Maxnote, and others you've done? I mean, just one BIG Feature you need to Add is Password Import & Export. I don't think you realize how many users you likely lose because they can't "import" their YEARS of passwords with another browser that allows export at least. I mean, I almost didn't start using Maxthon because of this, having to entirely start over. There are of course other little nuances I'm STILL needing fixed that irritate me, though you have gotten most of the biggest (see the Features Suggestion Forum for what I still need mostly), but something as BIG as the above missing Feature, should be a priority. There are several browsers now that have this feature, you can just look at them to see how they do it.

Hello! Whilst the 'little touches' are nice to have, they're mostly features neither myself or customers ever use. Bigger current issue is the display of the weather & other options on QA screen is often hard to see due to incorrect/poor colour handling. Where weather has a background mask, that should be applied to all other QA text. Weather still has poor colour choices, making the writing tricky sometimes to see at all: (this one isn't too bad, but the temperature units are in a different colour to the rest) (believe it or not, this 'clearly' (NOT!) says "MaxNote | PassKeeper") This is the screen customers see first, so if this is a mess, they're more likely to just uninstall Maxthon & go with something else - first impressions count a lot in browser wars!

The version numbers (1061 and 1062) in Jeff's first post are wrong.

check hardware aceleration in setting disable it if it's enabled or enable it if it's disabled then restart maxthon to see if it fixes your bug

Thank you for helping others and being patient about those that try to help Being humble and considering others will get you what you want The users here are trying their best to make Maxthon the browser we all want

Sky showtime works fine here even in UK where it's not official. Try changing your UA and/or use a VPN (Onion Fruit or Soft Ether). I set my country as Norway on Onion Fruit.

You mean this site What is the problem with it?

The name of this file implies you're using Chromium v108... Surely, that's not going to be the one you upgrade 103 to!? For greater compatibility, really 109, the last version that supports Windows 7 would be better, but for fixes & security, ONLY the latest version should be used. Again I say, latest stable Chromium for Maxthon stable & latest Chromium beta for Maxthon beta would give the best user experience.

you realize Edge and Vivaldi are ALSO Chromium-based browsers, just like Maxthon right ? you CAN import html exports of bookmarks, history and passwords into Maxthon by choosing 'Chrome', just like you can in vivaldi, edge, chrome... (and you can't import internet explorer passwords as html in vivaldi or chrome either...) it also would be NICE to stop using CAPS every now and then....

links from thunderbird not opening in maxthon now after updating to this latest version Update: after changing default browser to Chrome and clicking links in thunderbird that worked setting Maxthon as default browser fixed the problem

no core update yet? 🙄

Thanks for new version.

Working fine here. Used it 3 times today.

@ Dragoncho I use this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg Method 1 You can set it up yourself by following the images. I use this UA Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; IA64; en) AppleWebKit/599.0+ Maxthon/7.0 Chrome/111.0.5563.65 Safari/537.36 OPR/96.4693.80 QupZilla/2.2.6 Edge 111.0.1661.44 or Method 2 Import the attached json file user_agent_export.json

Hello! When I add a new shortcut to QA & select Site Shot, I just get a transparent block, but if I edit that & change to Color (still spelt wrong for UK!) & then back to Site Shot, it is then displayed correctly (refreshing the tab or all tabs doesn't fix this). For the built-in images, still no UK versions, so no amazon.co.uk, ebay.co.uk, bbc.co.uk, etc Many years ago, you had selectable images from a pre-defined list, even multiple ones for well know sites (e.g. YouTube), so one could add 'any location' (e.g. amazon.de) web address & just select the image... I know I've said it before, but could you not just read the 'favicon' from the website like other browsers (e.g. Opera)? It appears you are doing that when Colour (Color) selected, so could that not be used for Suggested Image!? UPDATE: Now, doing exactly the same, the Site Shot is immediately shown(!), but if refreshed it's VERY slow to display (if it ever does as I give up waiting after a while!) UPDATE2: Spoke too soon, if a new one is entered, it doesn't get site shot until after it's been edited, then it's quick next time!

Hi alexzhus, noted on this. Have already feedback to the team on this lagging issue and they will look into optimizing the QA page.

The icons on the Quick Access Toolbar appear with a pause of a few seconds. If you look closely, you will notice that they appear after the appearance of the temperature in the weather widget. And the temperature in the weather widget also appears with the same delay. It all started with version 7.0.0.1700. Wrote about it once in the topic.

I think you have a point there But once they think of implementing new chromium core engine more users are goint to be happy

Go to Settings then Privacy and Security. Scroll down to Site Settings. You can also change some settings in mx://flags/.

Hi Magdalene, still not too sure when. Will update when it's more conclusive Hi Kelvin, have already submitted request to the team for further consideration.

Hi Kelvin, do you mean to say to have all the tabs to be shown at the bottom? Hi Magdalene, MX7 beta versions will all be listed under MX6 until we received further instructions.

Don't have either of those problems and I'm constantly doing ALL of those things. Using 64bit Install version, Win10 Pro.

The x64 Portable version is deleting extensions again like several versions ago.

Hi Ldfa, bug reported.

Hi alexzhus, could you send the crash report to me？

@Ben.L.Salomon Do you need an account with this site to watch films? The trailers work fine for me with no account. These are the only countries where it's available at present Albania, Andorra, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia & Sweden.

Hi leeuniverse, Edge browser might have some encryption involved which is why it is not appearing in the importing list. I have already informed the development team about this and they will require more time to look into it.

Hi grisp1, may I know which application in specific? Hi MichaelC362, that is only a test version. The development team is working on V109 and will try to release as soon as possible. Hi leeuniverse, I do have Chrome as an option for importing like what @Magdalene has shown. Maybe you would like to check on your Chrome browser instead?

Sounds like it, but I also have Edge Installed and it's not showing either. Though, maybe Maxthon is confused, because I also have "Edge Canary" installed, so maybe it's not listing either one because of that?

@ leeuniverse

@ Ben.L.Salomon Can you post a link to Skyshowtime so I can test it.

I'm not logged in. I just use guest account. It's happening in exe and portable (both x64).

Hi Magdalene, I have tried adding this extension and also relaunch the browser a few times to test on this issue but could not reproduce the same error. Could you backup your user data and login again to see if this issue persist?

Guys im rly pissed off. SKYSHOWTIME NOT FIXED YET!!!! NEW CORE ?? WHERE ????

Hi Pablo(92131), could you provide me with 2 of your log files? 1) Past 2 days user data log: User Data\Log Files 2) User Data\Log Files\mxservice.log

Hello. Unfortunately it is still failing to sync with this version:

In my case there is no problem with Outlook.com or any other mail. Win 11. MX 7.0.0.1801.

This version .1804 is working fine for me in Syncing, though didn't test the original .1801. Outlook is also working fine for me, Sent Folder, and Opening Emails, and ALL of my common extensions used are installed. I'm on Win10 Pro, 64bit, using the above .1804 version attached.

I'm still not able to synchronize (as in the previous version). I receive a message that says Sync Failed ("Sync MaxNote Failed3").

MX 7 isn't listed in the "Release Notes" drop down Tab at the top of this page.

Solved. Blocked by Tau Adblock extension.

Hello! Thanks for new version. So address bar will take time to fix? 😋

Hello! Guest profile lost the QA shortcuts - went back to defaults. Had to copy yesterday's backup (I see why that link is listed on the forum home page, but it's out-of-date now as the folders have changed). Seems to have kept everything else though (so far, still checking!).

Hi nigelburge, bug reported.
