no, not at all... Maxthon will not prompt you to open any webpage if you set it as your default browser.
do you know what UAC is ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
and file association ? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7
as an example, if you don't set any browser to default, windows will ask you which application you want to open html files, and each time you will try to open an html file windows will prompt you again. Setting it as default will tell windows : always open those files with maxthon, don't ask me again.
