That's my point. Maxthon is the only browser that causes this strange captcha and now I wonder what shady things it does in the background.

I have the same problem, Maxthon sometimes hangs and gets white but it recovers. However, I do have lots of extensions so I think, that might be causing it. Old core with new extensions - receipt for disaster.

Agree, installation should ask if installation is for current user or all users.

To hijack the thread. What about Manifest V2? Is it going to be supported or discontinued? The Maxthon team is keeping CRUCIAL information from us. Nobody shares plans and dates with us. Manifest and core information and plans are something we should be informed about ASAP.

In my case, no, Maxthon causes the issue. I tried a clean portable version without any extension and account, incognito mode, and safe mode. In Maxthon, a captcha is always shown. If you solve the captcha it will not ask for some time. Did you solve the captcha before trying again in safe mode?

Captcha is shown not on the home page but when you search for something. It shows for me and my friend on multiple PCs and OS (Windows 10 and Windows 11) but we are both in Croatia on our major internet providers.

Both site work but njuskalo.hr has additional captcha ONLY in Maxthon. Tested on multiple PCs, multiple networks Attached video (it is big, cca 130Mb and it shows two halves of 4k resolution - 2x FullHD) 20241001-0855-35.8037168.mp4

My friend tried Maxthon to access njuskalo.hr and it also was redirected but other browsers do not show that behavior. It seems there is something with Maxthon and also depends on IP address (Croatian internet providers). Cartechnology works yes, but it asks for a captcha every day and I have to click to pass it. It seems Chrome, Egde, Firefox remember it for some time and I don't have to accept it every time, it is accepted automatically.

Still problems with njuskalo.hr redirecting to perfdrive.com and then asking for a captcha on Maxthon. No other browsers are affected I'm in Croatia, so maybe this affects only users who connect to local internet providers. Also, https://cartechnology.co.uk/ has a captcha that I need to click manually yet Firefox, Chrome, and Edge bypass it automatically.

This is redirected to the web page when perfdrive is not blocked It does not show on the same PC when using Firefox, Chrome, Edge...

I tried Maxthon Portable right now 5.2.2.5000 without an account or any extension and it is the same. I have the same problem at home and work on different networks. At home, I'm testing NextDNS service and it is blocking validate.perfdrive.com sp the error from the picture. At work no filtering, then it goes to another verification page, and then to njuskalo.hr. Edge, Chrome, and Firefox do not have that problem, not at home or at work on the same PCs. They go straight to result page. I see using inspect on Firefox that it blocks validate.perfdrive.com yet it loads the page. Chrome does the same. Maxthon redirects if allowed, or stops if not. Also, main page does load, but when searching for an article or accessing via direct link, then it does not work Maybe old Cromium core is the issue?

Why do I get redirected to validate.perfdrive.com when visiting some sites? For example I want to open this link https://www.njuskalo.hr/vrtni-namjestaj/drvena-lezaljka-val-oglas-25195670 It does not happen in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox

Vivaldi would be a great alternative but they also completely ignore user requests. The request to open a new tab from the address bar with only ENTER (not CTRL+ENTER or other combinations) was (and still is) unanswered for 5 years (yes years). Some user implemented a fix by changing one line of code and proved it was a straightforward request even though some said it is a difficult task.

With that UA www.njuskalo.hr shows this error. When using Maxthon UA from the dropdown menu it works.

I can't pass the Cloudflare captcha on some sites, but other browsers work fine. It's the same issue in portable mode or incognito (disabled extensions). cartechnology.co.uk Recording 2024-09-09 113620.mp4

So, any news about Manifest V2 and V3?

Thank you, but it would be fair to post about it in the English part of the forum. It's been days and still nothing.

So what about 7.2.2.3200, which I got updated on? No posts about it.

Please add an option to remove this popup permanently.

Thank you for the information. This is acceptable behavior even though when we check "BETA" checkbox we do agree to receive an "unstable" version. So waiting for the user feedback to push it via auto-update should not be necessary, however, it is better to have a slight delay of a few days and receive the latest beta than not to receive it at all

Yeah, this feature is not crucial, and there are more important things, but if you implement it, it needs to function like in all other applications. Also, that feature is already there, they just need to ditch the idea that "only some beta will be pushed through auto-update feature" and make it so that all betas are included. I have multiple devices and it is a big annoyance to check every day if there is a new beta, download it, and then install it manually on all those devices. A fully working feature of auto-update where "up to date" really means up to date would make my life a lot easier.

Why would I imagine such a stupid thing? Who wants such a feature? I want to be "up to date" in the full meaning of what "up to date" means. If "update to beta" is not checked then I expect the latest stable release at the time of check, and when "update to beta" is checked it should be the latest beta. This is how all other software works and Maxthon should follow that pattern.

Let me prove again the point about the built-in update feature of Maxthon and its uselessness and how it deceives users. It says I'm up to date. But am I? No, I'm not. It's a factual lie. It is extremely annoying and shows disrespect to its users.

Thanks for the tip about the Passkeeper popup. Why was it turned off in the first place and why is this option hidden on the Passkeeper webpage? Creating the MaxNote shortcut is not the same as creating the Maxthon shortcut. Also, it should remember my previous choice if upgrading. I don't want to remove the Maxthon shortcut every time there is an upgrade. I like my desktop (and taskbar) clean. Regarding the auto-update option. It is very misleading (and I could say a lie) to have an option "update to beta" checked and that browser says you are "up to date" even though there is a newer beta to be downloaded manually. Maxthon is the only software that I know of, where the "up to date" with the BETA option checked is not "up to date" to the latest BETA. There is a clear meaning of what "up to date" means and what Maxthon is doing is not that.

A while ago my Maxthon stopped asking to to save passwords on new sites. It does ask to update (if changed) on a previously saved site. This happens with at least 5-10 latest betas (including 8200). In addition to this new behavior, it never asked to save a password on the ESXI web interface - this is true for all versions. The bug, when more than 100 tabs are hidden, not showing the whole number of hidden tabs is still there. Installation should remember installation settings from before and should ask if we want both icons (mx and note) on the desktop and taskbar and remember those choices. Next time when I upgrade (and it should know it is an upgrade) it should offer previously selected options. I don't like to delete icons from desktop and taskbar every time I do an upgrade. Update to BETA version still does not do what it is supposed to do - update to the LATEST beta.
