Hello! Maxthon has included DRM (Widevine) support for a long time, but it only supports 'standard' resolution playback, not 'high definition'. It works fine, for me, for Amazon Prime in non-HD. To check what components are installed, enter: mx://components/ (see second from bottom entry)

Hello! I'm so glad this is optional as it's the feature I dislike the most in other browsers! I notice the weather location was lost after installing this release... was that intentional? Any chance the 'multi-search' feature will ever be added back? I always found that useful, especially when searching for anything technical... Google would generally find zero (to be expected as no advertising revenue), but was handy to have DuckDuckGo, Ask & Yandex results available

Works for me, implying either an extension I have & you don't or vice-versa (or UA):

Hello! Yes & no... I have 1000s of bookmarks, so don't have the bar displayed. I could as it as a quick launch shortcut, but really, why should I when it's on the screen within Maxthon!? If a feature is added to Maxthon, then it needs to be useful & showing the current weather, when I can see that out the window, is somewhat less then useful, unless there's the option to expand/extend the forecast. Ideally, if they don't want to link to AccuWeather (or have been told not to!?) then just showing the next few days or hours (user selectable option) would be a good compromise.

Hello! I can look out the window to see the current weather(!), so you either need to re-allow link access to AccuWeather's website or show more days at time (or option to show hourly for the next day)

Hello! "- Fixed an issue with failing to retrieve weather data." Still doesn't goto AccuWeather's website upon clicking

Hello! Videos on YouTube only play for a few seconds, then black window reporting: All extensions disabled & using either standard Maxthon or this UA: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Windows NT 10.0; U; WOW64; IA64; en) AppleWebKit/599.0+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Maxthon/7.2.2.4600 Chrome/128.0.6513.138 Safari/537.36 OPR/113.5230.86 QupZilla/2.2.6 Edge/128.0.2739.79 Play the same video in DuckDuckGo browser & works ok

Hello! There's Chinese symbols on the update page for UK English: Despite installing with UK English: "Colour" is still spelt wrong as "Color": Been like it for YEARS, possibly even forever!

If just changing the UA can make inaccessible websites accessible again, then maybe Maxthon should do that automatically anyway? Of course, updating the Chromium core in the first place would make that feature redundant!

That worked, thanks. I don't usually want to change the UA as I need to know when it isn't going to be compatible for customers, but I'll update it from now on for me & change back to test when they report issues.

Hello! I see the weather applet still doesn't work... really, how long does it take to fix something that previously worked fine!? It does now show the current location's overview (when clicking the down arrow), but clicking the main bit still doesn't goto AccuWeather's website for more details.

Hello! Last few releases been unable to access Distrowatch... Just get: Works ok with other browsers (e.g. DuckDuckGo)

Don't need to bother bypassing, if doing a fresh install, as doesn't seem to check at all! I've done 100s of Windows 11 installs (on customers computers) with Intel CPUs as low as 2nd gen & AMD as low as 'A class' & never had issues.

You can just install Windows 11 as the licence (if UEFI retail motherboard) is compatible. Alternatively, free inline upgrade from 10 to 11, then, ideally, wipe & clean install 11 to remove any tat copied over (obviously, backup data before any of this)

Hello! I see weather feature still doesn't work... been AGES now. It seems you add lots of 'little things' people don't ask for, want or use (& then have to repeatedly fix them as they don't work), but features that are popular (e.g. weather) just get ignored when there's issues! Any update on new Chromium core? Keeping Maxthon on an old core is just costing you lost users, who, despite really liking Maxthon, due to compatibility or safety concerns, simply can't stay with you anymore. It's like you're actively trying to push people away! The user base for Windows 7, 8.0 & 8.1 is so low now, it's just not worth it anymore. I know 7 is still popular in China, but even they have to admit there's LOTS of software they can't run anymore, so they'll have to upgrade to 10 or 11. Any news on Widevine? It's another 'MUST HAVE' feature that you really can't ignore.
