    What happened to the Maxthon SkyNote Android App? I still use mine because i have a backup of all my apps from previous phones. But you cant get it on Google Play Store anymore. If i have to download it, i have to download it from a unsecured site. Plz bring the standalone app back

    Hi Metern, yes we do have the SkyNote Android app previously but it has since been discontinued. We would recommend you to use the browser MaxNote since it works almost the same; you could also add it to your homepage as a shortcut.

    1. The number of hidden tabs is still not properly shown if more than 100

    Hi projektilski, as mentioned this will be redevelop for further optimisation.

    2. When opening more than 18 tabs from bookmarks, an annoying popup asks for confirmation

    I could not reproduce this issue. Could you help to record a video so I could check with the team?

    3. Maxthon recreates the desktop shortcut with each upgrade and installation, DO NOT DO THAT. Some people like their desktop icon-free.

    Suggestion recorded.

    4. New tabs do not allow to open their custom homepage (google for example). It is unacceptable to hear that this will not be implemented/fixed. 

    Custom homepage is only applicable during startup

    19 hours ago, projektilski said:

    5. New "window", "incognito" and "session" options inside Maxthon also do not open a custom homepage but a builtin one. 

    Have feedback to the team on this for them to look into it.

    Didn't auto-update & previous version said was already up-to-date.
    Manually installed, but after completing, Maxthon didn't start back up.
    Manually loaded & briefly showed new features in Chinese, before changing to English.

    Hi MichaelC362, the team is still updating some components and thus this latest version has not been pushed through the backend.

    This is the first 'stable' release in 3 months(!) & we're still stuck on Chromium 109...
    Since this is just for Windows 7/8/8.1 users, why not change the development of Maxthon to use a forked (latest) Chromium core, but modify it to remain compatible with older OSs (like Supermium)?  That way all users will be served & happy!  The lack of compatibility & HUGE numbers of security issues that aren't getting fixed isn't worth killing Maxthon for, but that's what will happen if you continue on this doomed path!

    Will forward your feedback to the team for their planning and consideration.

    I'd like to point out that the search bar issue is fixed in this version
    Now whatever engine I choose becomes the main 

    in the old version I had to choose just drag text to the tab bar to be able to search with the newly chosen engine

    But the microsoft form issue is still present
    even in safe mode

    Hi Mhzayer, could you disable all extensions and try again?

  4. Maxthon PC 7.1.8.9000

    + Comprehensive upgrade of data synchronization mechanism for faster and safer data syncing
    + Added Search Tab button located at the top left corner of the tab bar, allowing users to view and search open and recently closed tabs through an expanded menu. This feature can be enabled or disabled in 'Settings'->'Appearance' and supports keyboard shortcuts.
    + Added Video Download Acceleration: For full video downloads, videos from certain sites can be downloaded at high speed by clicking the acceleration button in the download popup to download the 720P version of the video.
    + Added Vertical Video Download Support: Resolution for full video downloads is adjusted to match the original video playback resolution.
    + Added Custom UserAgent: Added the ability to set a custom UserAgent string in Settings->Advanced->Laboratory.
    + Added intelligent recognition of extension file format: The download manager intelligently recognizes extension file (.crx) formats and prompts users to install them after successful download.
    + Added Password Manager shortcuts. Users can modify shortcuts in Settings->Mouse Gestures and Shortcuts->Shortcut Settings->More Shortcut Settings.
    * Optimized display of extension management quantity: The extensions management page now displays the total number of installed extensions.
    * Optimized interaction of Super bookmarks bar: Setting and unsetting 'My Favorites' will not close the bookmark menu, allowing consecutive settings in the bookmark bar.
    * Updated translations for multiple languages.
    - Fixed issue where changing bound accounts caused the new account to become a local account.
    - Fixed known crashes and issues.

    I am writing to report a possible bug that I have encountered in the Passkeeper tool on both the Maxthon browser version 7.1.8.8201 (on win 10 22H2) and the Android version 7.2.3.320 (on Android 11).

    The issue is that the passwords are coming up empty in the Passkeeper tool from these versions onwards. This problem is consistently replicable and affects both the desktop and Android versions of the software.

    I hope this issue can be addressed promptly as it significantly impacts the functionality and user experience.

    I understand that there might be a possibility of recovering these passwords from a backup of the Maxthon folders. However, I am unsure of the process and need guidance if that is possible.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hi miguelconde, the development team is looking into this password syncing issue. They will try to fix it as soon as possible.

    when I copy anything to the search bar then search for it using the default search say Google for instance
    it will search normally 
    But if I click to change that search engine to yahoo for instance then hit enter it will still use google and if 
    I then hit enter a second time it will use yahoo
    this been happening quite often in the last couple of versions I don't know since when

    Hi Mhzayer, could you go to your local drive and send me your 'preferences' file under your user data profile? I will get the developer to do a check for you.

    Could you guys check this form 😉 If you could fill it too 
    Maxthon just blocked it for me
    I opened it with Chrome and filled it 
    Is it just me ?

    Hi Mhzayer, no issue on my end. Was able to fill up the form and submit it.

    Hello @BugSir009,

    I noticed there is a regression in the 'Restore Last Closed Page' feature: it doesn't preserve the page navigation history anymore:

    image.png.2c20b57f4c3c0c1a3c761e78c35522a8.png

    This used to be working before but gone some time ago.

    Would it be possible to bring the feature back?

     

    Thanks! 

    Hi grisp1, have reported this issue to the development team for them to check on it.

    It won't happen until they're forced to do it & since that's unlikely, not hopeful anytime soon!
    As soon as a 'popular' or 'must have' service needs newer than 109 core, that'll be the last straw for most users, which is a shame as I've personally used & recommended Maxthon for over 20 years & have installed it on thousands of computers over that time.

    As a matter of interest, does anyone know what cores they're using for Android, macOS & iOS versions?

    Hello!
    Version 7.1.8.8201 also showing 2 optional Bright VPN prompts after installation:

    image.png.e18e78f7a1015c26e908f98ded703c90.png

    Is one free & one paid!?
    I'm guessing the 2nd one should say "Bright VPN" & not "Bright VP"!?

    Hi MichaelC362, bug reported.

    Oke... I've seen thing in multiple threads, the request to update the Core...
    I haven't said much about this THEN but it's NOW becoming a problem with my employer as well...

    Maxthon PC 7.1.8.8201 is Chromium 109... At work 117 is now a mimimum. So I can no longer use Maxthon :(

    Please fix this ASAP!

    Hi wOLVERINe, will convey your concern to the development team for them to work on it.

    Hello!

    After (manual) installation, I got this:

    image.png.ee5440cbe1c7517e3279b38c3c10754b.png

    Should it be prompting twice for Bright VPN!?

    Also, when Maxthon restarted, it did so minimized to taskbar (by the clock) & when double clicking that icon, I wasn't signed in & had to select my account to continue.

    Hi MichaelC362, please try with the updated 7.1.8.8201 version above.

  11. Maxthon PC 7.1.8.8201 beta

    * Updated multilingual translations.
    - Fixed an issue where re-binding an account caused the original account to become a local account.
    - Fixed non-responsive translation issues.
    - Fixed incomplete display of the tab search button.
    - Fixed the loss of custom image skins due to synchronization.
    - Fixed known crashes.

    NB! I cannot post in Russian forum!(((

    I can't select Russian forum when creating a topic! I do not understand why. When you click the mouse, the desired item is not selected (((

    The problem is this. About a month ago, any volume control extensions like "Volume Master" stopped working. "Volume Booster" etc. What can be wrong? Maxthon Version:7.1.8.6001(64 bit)0203 02:34

    I like the Maxthon browser and am happy with it, but without the volume control feature I don’t need it(

    Hi MedMall, the development team is working on updating the chromium and this might be the reason why the extension is not working well. I tried to search for it and maybe you could add this extension which supports older browser : https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/volume-master-outdated-br/fflcgbahhodkmllfoeldoiaemngpiphj

    So the problem is not permanent. Is there any reason?
     

    Hi alexzhus, hardware acceleration mode might not be suitable to apply on all PCs.

    "Today, when I started it for the first time, Maxton itself opened 2 tabs, which I opened 4 days ago, after which it successfully froze. Through Windows Task Manager, I terminated 3 Maxton processes from 9-11, after which the computer stopped responding. I had to restart Windows using the reset button.
    This is the second time that this version of Maxton behaves in an incomprehensible way; this did not happen in earlier versions."

    This has been happening a lot recently with X64 Portable. Not X64 exe. This occurs a lot when using The Guardian website and reading their comments pages. 

    Hi Magdalene, have you tried disabling hardware acceleration mode?

    Hello. Regarding problems with bookmark synchronization. On version 7.1.8.8000 the synchronization process is successful. But in reality the bookmarks are not synchronized. Those. no changes occur, although the synchronization status is successful.

    Hi Pablo(92131), do you have any extensions in place? I tried clicking on a few links through the website link you provided and it loads well.

    Hi! Today, after starting the system, the browser refused to start. You click on the shortcut and nothing happens. There is also nothing in system processes according to Maxton. I had to restart the browser installation.

    Hi alexzhus, there was a push update from the backend so kindly monitor if same issue persist.

    Hello!
    Didn't auto-update or alert me to the update, but after manually installing, when complete & I clicked the restart button, after a pause Windows prompted me for administration permission... Since installation was apparently complete, what was that for!?

    Hi MichaelC362, the auto-update has not been officially released from our backend yet. There could be some further updates and the backend will push the update once everything is finalised.

    In my previous post, I commented but didn't get a reply to: surely, from a developer point of view, the Chromium core is just a bunch of APIs, so to use a newer core, you just update the APIs!?  It's not logical you'd start with Chromium browser source code & then make changes & add in all the Maxthon elements... Please confirm.

    I have tried to verify this with the development team and yes, they will update the Chromium starting with the Chromium browser source code and merge it to Maxthon's.

  18. Maxthon PC 7.1.8.8000 beta

    + Added shortcuts for Search Tabs and Passkeeper, which can be modified in Settings -> Gestures and Shortcuts -> Shortcut Management -> More Shortcuts.
    * Updated multilingual translations.
    - Fixed the issue where right-clicking the New Tab button was ineffective.
    - Fixed the abnormal video muting issue.
    - Fixed known crashes.

    According to the latest news, a vulnerability was discovered in chromium-based browsers that allows attackers to access our personal data, passwords, financial information and more, compromising our privacy and online security.

    Google Chrome and Edge have already sent out an emergency update to fix this, but how do browsers like Maxthon deal with this?

     

    Another Google Chrome 0-day vulnerability fixed: update asap - gHacks Tech News

     

    Hi Drethriel, have forwarded your concern to the development team for them to look into it.

    Hello!
    Your website still has spelling mistakes & poor grammar:

    image.png.d2ae5bf384477d40442b1d1e4e190d32.png

    It should read, "Designed for Web3, with built-in Notes & Password Manager"

    image.thumb.png.2137a75798ad256cccb0eb164d7ccec5.png

    That should read, "Browser features comparison" & if Opera were included too, most of the features 'unique' to Maxthon are in Opera too, which is always kept up-to-date!

    Hi MichaelC362, have reported these error to the team for them to rectify.

    Hi xxxxx, I am unable to advise on the ETA right now but I could assure you that the development team is working on it. All users' request for an updated chromium have been conveyed to the team so they are aware of the issues faced by users. Appreciate your patience on this.
