    For this feature I think it got me to download instagram clips easyly 
    but not for youtube clips

    spoke too soon
    I think the download has to do with an extension not maxthon
    I no longer can see that button I clicked to download instagram clips

    + 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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

    I would appreciate it if someone could help refresh my memory on how to see and possibly change or modify the user agent. I used to do this with regularity as new ones were posted by Magdalene. I simply have gotten old and forgotten how I was doing that. Thanks in advance.

     

     

    You can find it in settings

    Since (as mentioned previously), someone else has a forked version of Chromium that even works on XP, but still has the feature set & security of current Chromium, if you're so fussed about losing Windows 7 & 8 users, why not do the same for Maxthon!?

    They've opted for the hardest path 
    They can do as other chromium based browsers are doing and all windows 11 users will be happy
    But that would make older windows users not happy 
    and going for 2 Maxthon versions 1 for win11 and 1 for older windows is beyond their capabilities 
    So we should wait for a genius Dev that's will magically come up with a new Maxthon that surpasses all other browsers 
    We still can dream

    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.

    Don't bother 
    It's the same thing since Maxthon is kept for compatibility to older windows because of the huge users in China 
    This can go on forever

    Hello!
    Re. "Supermium" (above) - Windows XP, Vista, 7, etc compatible, latest Chromium browser fork...
    This clearly isn't a huge/major company developing this project, but 3 points I'd like to bring to your attention:

    -Turnaround for major vulnerability patches generally less than one week from upstream disclosure
    -Google Sync
    -On Windows 7 and up, Widevine CDM support for viewing DRM content

    If they can do it, so can you (Maxthon).
    Sorry, but I just don't believe you when you say Google aren't replying to you when you requested Widevine - obviously, even if they had a backlog, this has been ongoing for YEARS & you can't simply ignore it, Maxthon MUST have Widevine support.
    These people, who aren't well known, have it, so Maxthon, who are internationally known for over 20 years, certainly should have it too.
    Whatever the real reason for not having it, get over it as it's preventing anyone who wants to stream DRM content from using Maxthon.
    If a user can't use a browser for all web content, they'll simply change to another that does work.
    All you're doing here, not updating the core & being compatible, is lose ever more users!

    Bingo
    aimed and hit the bull's eye
    I won't say I'll ever abandon Maxthon cause I started loving it since MyIe days and continued to love and support it
    So we loyal users say this because we care
    When are you Devs going to listen to us
    We're with you in good and bad times so please please please
    take the time to think about it carefully
    The path you're taking is only shortlived. 
    Think about making Maxthon the browser all competing browsers try to follow not the opposite

    Hi Dyba, could you send me your log file and I will ask the development team to check for you.

    It's always advisable to ask for operating system and version and whether it's installed or portable 

    most of the time it's operating system related issue
    and it's a good way for other members running the same specs to participate in the issue to be sure it's not user specific issue

    I think copying mx:/version data is very helpful

    I've installed Qihoo 360 Total Security 100s of times on customers computers in the past & even used it myself for a while, but since they dropped Bitdefender & then Avira scanning engines, I can't really recommend it anymore... It's saving grace however, is the sandbox, so as long as you don't allow anything to run that you don't recognize, then you would probably be fine (run scans with ADWCleaner, HitmanPro & AutoRuns (with VirusTotal lookup)).

    For me, what I've seen with Maxthon before, is old settings affecting a new installation, even showing something different on the menus or screen.
    Quickest test would be to backup your current Maxthon folder, uninstall it (using HiBit Uninstaller to show/remove 'leftovers'), restart Windows & then reinstall Maxthon.
    If that doesn't work, then implies Windows issues (assuming you've already tested your SSD/HDD & RAM).

    Thanks for the advices

    Loads ok for me in Maxthon (reports: 581/594)
    Could be a plugin (but would need to have same one installed on all browsers!) or anti-virus/firewall issue... what security do you use?
    (could also be issue with ISP, but less likely)

    I'm using 360 total security
    never had any issues with it on that site (the old site) I guess
