What is the meaning of "pin current window"? And why does the window become "Always on top", on top of other applications? I enabled this option and did not immediately understand why I cannot switch to another application via Alt+Tab ...

I would like to try to remind you of one development that you have thrown out. In the 4.x version there was QA with division into tabs. It was very convenient. Creating tabs by topics is incomparably easier than navigating in a vertical list without reference points, in which new links are created only at the end. In any interface, the user finds 2 things very convenient: when the selection list can be covered with a glance, and when the menu item or link is in a familiar place. QA with division into tabs implements both of these possibilities. And if you ask: "Why not make this hierarchy in Bookmarks ?", then I will ask you: "Why not do only Bookmarks - without QA?" p.s. Maxthon has always been distinguished by the presence of interesting unique features. Today - most of these features - are implemented by other browsers, but I have not encountered QA with tabs.

I noticed this feature: when opening a URL not from a browser, it cycles through all the browser windows, possibly also through all the open tabs in the browser windows. Obviously, the browser does not know where to open a new tab and solves this problem "on the fly", wasting time and resources on activating browser windows. Another interesting point about the work of windows and tabs: periodically, the browser freezes when switching between tabs or during other actions. After this, the active window can move to the end - the order of the browser windows changes. This is very inconvenient: I am used to opening windows, each with tabs on a specific topic, for example, in the first window - messengers and email, in the last - searching for something, etc. Now I have version 7.2.2.5000, I am going to update to the current one.

Now, the new version (7.3.1.1100) installs but does not start. Unfortunately, I don't have time for a clean install. Downgraded to 5200.

Periodically, the next version turns out to be such that the browser hangs the computer. This time - 7.2.2.6000 (maxthon_7.2.2.6000_x64.exe). As a rule, the hang occurs after a long pause (weekend or night): the browser begins to "wake up" and the computer, literally, lies down. There is still no option to close all browser windows with one button, so that later, when starting, all windows open - as they were before closing. I am forced to log out of the user or reboot the computer: in this case - the browser will then open all the windows, as they were. maxthon_7.3.1.1100_x64_alpha.exe crashes before installation even starts

I still don't understand why the "Release Notes --> MX6" branch is abandoned?

I have been observing a lull in the release of new versions for a month now. Does this mean that Maxthon 8 will be released ? 😉

I had many tabs open in several windows. At some point, I decided to close the extra ones and started closing the tabs one by one. The first one closed instantly, and after closing about 10-20 tabs, the next one closed for about 10 minutes on a powerful computer! All MX windows, at the same time, hung. Other programs, at the same time - worked fine. What can MX do when closing a tab? Ver. 7.1.6.1500(64bit), portable. However, I have observed this behavior in previous versions as well. + It seems that it happens when I closed all the tabs of one window, then closed the empty window itself, and then started closing the tabs of another window.

no, at that time, there was a slightly earlier version

When the browser crashes, the next time it starts, all the windows that were open at the time of the crash open. Why don't you make it so that I can close all the windows at once, so that when the browser starts, they all open? Somewhere above in the topic, I suggested making a menu on the sidebar with the ability to open windows that were opened in the last session. Unfortunately, opening the windows of the last session from history is not very convenient, besides, they disappear from there over time.

I tried it a few times and went back to 1400

folder User Data\Crashpad\reports is empty

and what is a crash data? the browser did not issue any error messages

in the case of the portable version, the files of the new version - in any case fall into a separate folder.

what is a clean install - for the portable version? actually, deleting all data with each update is not a pleasant procedure: then you need to re-register and synchronize everything.
