  1. As you probably already noticed, Maxthon's Extensions Center is "frozen": the latest updated extension was Shopping Assistant (2019/08/01). I have upload a few updates for some of my extensions before I noticed that they are still "pending approved". Some of these are updated regularly, and I'm sure that many people still use and will use old versions of Maxthon with old extensions. So we need a plan B: what if we use the forum to post updates and new extensions? But I hope this is a temporary solution... In this thread I will post updates for my old extensions (and maybe new ones). If you upload your extension to the comments, I will edit the main post and add the link to your comment. It's a crutch, but right now it's the easiest way to share updates with users. Let's go! Twitter 2.3.8 (05.07.2019) - new menu and icons / Twitter 2.3.8.mxaddon Instagram 2.1.8 (28.08.2020) - added direct / Instagram 2.1.8.mxaddon VK 2.5.4 (06.09.2020) - added clips, some localization fixes / VK 2.5.4.mxaddon SaveTube (10.05.2020) - changelog / SaveTube 2020.05.10.mxaddon ViewTube (20.08.2020) - changelog / ViewTube 2020.08.20.mxaddon LinkTube (25.11.2019) - changelog LinkTube 2019.11.25.mxaddon NB: If you use SaveTube, ViewTube or LinkTube, we recommend you switching to original scripts and ViolentMonkey. This will update your scripts automatically.
  2. A few months ago, I was going to write why MX5 should be the last version of Maxthon, and now I see that for many people MX5 will indeed be the last version of Maxthon. For me probably too. It isn't bad, just now we drive on different roads. I love the browser, I love the team and I love the community. It was a great experience, and I'm happy to be here, but it's time for change, and many of us aren't ready for this. In 2017, I wrote "Make Maxthon great again!". The last point was: I want to believe that Maxthon will save at least MX5, because I know many people who still use it (by the way, I know people who still use MX4 and MX3). And now I want to ask Maxthon to save the main feature of their old browsers - extensions. Today Extensions Center is paused. I know why and I understand it, but I see that many people still need some addons. And I hope Maxthon will save Extensions Center and, if it's possible, will make it open. What I mean? Sorry, if I should not talk about this, but we don't have any extension update because of moderation. Is it possible to remove moderation from the website? There are not so many 3d party developers and there are not so many people who will check Extensions Center everyday. The risk is not so great. Just edit the notification before installation: "You use too old version of the browser. Now we DO NOT support this version and we DO NOT moderate extensions for your browser. Any extension can be dangerous. Instill it only if you really understand what you do". This is simple and it could save some old users and 3d party developers. A few months ago, my nephew made his first addon for Maxthon, I made too many addons to just forget about it. And I know people who still ready to work with MX (not so many, but they exist!). It could be a good step towards old-timers. I see only 2 potential problems: Technical limitations. Is it possible to remove preliminary moderation? Money. How much money does Maxthon need to keep the site online? And the last on: I have some ideas what we can do if Extensions Center will be closed, but... I spent too much of your time already and I probably should create a new thread for this. See you...
  3. For example, synchronization can work between your devices only (today it works via Maxthon's servers): you need to connect your PC with your smartphone and then you can add a new device to this chain. If you lose all devices your data will be lost too. This is really secure, but too uncomfortable for users like me.
  4. Did you miss me? Because I'm here and I will grumble... Again! What happened to your Extensions Center? After years of controversy, we finally realized that users really need extensions. But if you browsers does not have extensions what you users need, it does not mean you can just forget about the extensions that already exist. Does not matter what do we think ab out the browser, does not matter what the developers want to do with the browser, there are too many users who love it and will use even if Maxthon close the project. And this people probably would like to use the extensions. Maxthon's Extensions Center does not work: Users can not write reviews. Just check any extension page - last comment was written in February 2018, almost 2 years ago. I'm almost sure this is because of Mining Go and referral links/codes. I think Maxthon tried to stop all this spam and just close all comments. But why did you do this for all gallery, not for Mining Go page only? Sometimes we need a feedback, but you took that opportunity away from us. Where are all updates? There are not so many extensions for Maxthon, but I can not believe that no one developer has made any update for his extension. Just check Recently Updated - the last update is Shopping Assistant - August 1, 2019. The developer of SaveTube and ViewTube made several updates this autumn, updates for Maxthon is already done and uploaded, but still not available for users. When Twitter released new UI, I updates my mxaddon, but it is still not available too. Even if Maxthon fix the issues, the communication on Extensions Center is broken. There is no way to inform the developer about a problem with his extension: even if you write w comment/review, he will never see that. There is no notifications for developers. And if you like an extension, you can not see other extension from the developer. We don't know you plans, but almost every you user can explain what we want to see and what you should do.If you close Extensions Center (as you did for Skins Center), it will be very bad for the browser, the community and every your user. Come on!
  5. NoAds It was unofficial port for MX, but because of old bug of Chromium it could break the browser. So the developer removed it from Extensions Center. But than someone upload it again and now you can use it. But if you will add "full lists" it may break all pages (white field instead of content).
    1. A.S.

      A.S.

      As I know today Maxthon stopped trying to add Chrome extension to MX, but they want to add this to remake of Nitro (it probably will be named LivesOne Browser).

      • Containers are developed by Mozilla and this is exclusive for Firefox.
      • AdBlock Plus and unfixed NoAds (I have to fix it manualy) are the only adblockers for MX as I know.
      • LastPass is available for MX.
      • Instead of Ghostery you can use ABP lists.
      • Try to use ViolentMonkey and scripts to download video if sniffier does not work.

      By the way, whu do you need several ad blockers? ABP and uBlock work with the same links, AdGuard uses own one, but you can add AdGuard lists to uBlock.

  6. Sum up: RoboForm was developed by SiberSystem RoboForm.mxaddon was upload to Extension Center by Roman Gravit Roman Gravit used email @siber.com, so he probably worked there (and his Facebook profile confirm this) It means that RoboForm for Maxthon is probably official add-on They both responded to messages: RoboForm - via Twitter, Roman - via Facebook. So they know about situation and probably they will connect with Maxthon Team. But maybe I could give them links to someone from Maxthon Team on Facebook or Twitter (Lizzie or Jeff)? P.S. By the way, the website works, but you shoud use siber.com/index instead of siber.com
  7. This website is dead already... But I think I found his profile. Maybe this is other man with the same name, but I'll try to talk with him. I wrote about this on Twitter, RoboForm replied. Can I give them link to someone from MX Team? Or you can try to do the same and write to RoboForm on Twitter or Facebook.
  8. I thought you could get his email from MX Passport. Nope? Not the fact that it was an official port. Usually things like this are made by fanboys from China or Russia/CIS.
  9. Did Lonely Atom delete tracking scripts or just use old safe version? Or this method of tracking just does not work on Maxthon?
  10. What's up, guys? As you probably know, my new interests are privacy and security. And today I have a bad new for you... According to Robert Heaton's note, popular extension Stylish steals all your internet history: I have a lot of questions: Is Stylish for Maxthon official? Here're not so many official extensions and ports. I know olny three: LastPass, VKOpt and AdBlock Plus. Other extensions in most cases are unofficial ports from funboys. Is Stylish too? Add-on was uploaded by one of users from China - 寂寞的原子 (Lonely Atom). He made many cool exnetsions for Maxthon. Who is he? Can we talk to him? Is spying update relevant for Maxthon? Last update of mxaddon was in January 2018. Does this mean that users of Stylish for Maxthon take risks too? Because if Lonley Atom used old version of Stylish, it may be still safe. Not a fact, but we have a chance. Are Chrome and Firefox issues relevant for Maxthon? Maxthon is closed browser. That's why many third-party developers don't want to work with Maxthon. Maybe changes happened on Chrome could not be repeated on Maxthon. Now we need someone from MX Team to check it. P. S. I've seen mention of Stylish changes thrice, so it's probably true... I'm not sure that it's relevant for Maxthon too. So don't panic! Maybe it's false alarm... But I think you should know this...
  11. If it's true, this is because of Mining Go and invitation codes. They could just disable comments for one extension.
  12. Hi. guys! I had to write about this many week ago, but... What's wrong with Extensions Center? Does it work? I tried to write reply, but I can not add new comment. Just white screen and nothing more. I hoped it's temporary, but it still does not work for me. Now I hope MX Team just preparing big update for Extensions Center and they have no reason to fix old bugs. Because we really need new Extensions Center: with notification and developer's pages. Now feedback is broken...
  13. Maxthon still has build-in AdBlock Plus, but now if you want to activate it, you have to install the extension.
