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.

Hello! Description says "beta", but file names don't... which is it supposed to be!?

Hello! On the About screen you're still listing "Twitter" with the 'bird' logo... It hasn't been called that or use that logo for quite a while now, so maybe update that!?

Hello! Tried again this morning & exactly the same. When I right click Vbox & click settings, it just takes me into Maxthon's 'Advanced' settings page (although the address is spelt wrong: mx://settings/advance)... I don't see the options you're showing

Hello! When you say fixed...

Hello! Doesn't seem to be option to start again, but first 2 times clicked Vbox this morning, just got error "3". Then it let me continue & once again, selecting 044 for UK doesn't display after selecting, but also, after entering phone number & clicking send, it doesn't send anything & just gets another server error: (I've deleted the phone number from the picture here)

Hello! Text was in Chinese (despite specifying UK) Got multiple 'server internal error's & one error that just said "3"! When selecting 044 for country code, the code isn't shown after

Hello! Version 6.1.2.2401 (64-bit) 0816 (installed) & previous version... After installing, doesn't display quick launch, all plugins crash, can't click anything in Maxthon, but after exit & reload, is ok. Here's the crashpad Crashpad.7z

Mx6 6.1.1.1200 beta The Ctrl + F1 snap now has Chinese characters in the description. Lloydsbank.com now can't sign-in (was ok with previous beta). national-lottery.co.uk still broken with just spinning life signs for some images on home page. The new download manager is still not good enough (i.e. not as good as Mx5)... why keep going backwards!? The window isn't even resizable & now instead of a downward facing arrow icon, there's now just a black circle. Good minimizer to tray finally added in, but still would benefit from status bar (like Mx5). Still no website thumbnails or selectable images (could use favicon, a Mx/web database or locally chosen)

When I say there's no indicator for zoom % with +/- on screen, I mean ON SCREEN, not just on the menu. Mx5 had a status bar which showed current zoom & had visible controls. The Ctrl + left/right, ONLY goes between tabs & not words when focus is on a field... this is VERY annoying! A screenshot of a dark background isn't going to help as the darkness will vary between monitors... on mine, I use the sun rise/set picture & the text at the top right isn't visible... If it was inverted to white, it would be readable. This needs to be dynamic, based on the picture darkness in that area (perhaps just XOR).

1. After downloading a file, if that file is renamed or deleted outside of Maxthon, then the 'open folder' link in download manager doesn't work. As the folder itself still exists, it should still open 2. After downloading a file, if that file is renamed or deleted outside of Maxthon, then there is no option to restart the download. Can click the URL link, but then have to browse to/select destination folder again 3. If a download is paused, clicking 'Clear all' removes the paused download as well as the completed ones from the list 4. If website viewed at 100%, no indication ON SCREEN how to zoom in/out - only shows if not 100% & even then only shows a magnifying glass icon, doesn't show the zoom +/-%. can't just be on the menu - not user friendly 5. Download manager doesn't have resume (e.g. after internet disruption) or restart- the screenshot they showed me doesn't exist in current stable or last beta 6. While running a beta version, auto-update NEEDS to actually work for ALL new versions, not just those you think are important. This is also true when running stable, but with the added option of updating to beta too. If there's a new version available, then that means you've fixed, improved or added something so in some way, it's better than the previous version... obviously, people are going to want the better version, especially while Mx6 still has many unresolved issues 7. nsandi.com - auto-fill doesn't remember the NS&I number, only the Surname + Password 8. While reporting bugs in 'Submit Feedback', would be good to be able to access previous posts & replies 9. No quick or easy access to User Agent, like in Mx5 10. Still getting black on dark background picture on quick launch page, so text unreadable as almost invisible
