Hello! I noticed some time ago, but every now & then, the number of updates counter, when installing overtop an existing installation, is reset to 1. So, although I have installed Maxthon updated versions MANY times, it now shows "9". Also, the last 'stable' release was well over 2 months ago. What's the update on a newer Chromium core as you're now 9 versions behind!? Not keeping that up-to-date means you're constantly having to fix bugs that are already fixed in a newer core! It also means incompatibility & security issues are only increasing, the older Maxthon gets. You'd appease a LOT of people's complaining if you just kept the core up-to-date & got Widevine working. I stick with Maxthon as it's the fastest browser I've tried & I like the look & features, but I still MUST have at least 1 other browser installed (I have Opera + DuckDuckGo) for instances where I can't use Maxthon... I'd rather only have 1 browser & I'd like that to be Maxthon! When you've previously said a new core means a complete rewrite each time, that either simply can't be true or you're doing it wrong! Since other one-man-bands (you've cited the "developer", rather than "developers" before) are able to keep the core updated, surely it's just a matter of using the new APIs?

Hello! Once again, duplicate entries in download manager, which aren't removed when clearing list, but aren't present upon restarting Maxthon, so caching issue. Been like this for YEARS. Seems to occur when downloading quite a lot (but still only dozens, not hundreds) of items (almost always program (.exe or .msi) installers.

Hello! When I tested Maxthon's ability to handle .magnet links, only to find it didn't work without using Bright VPN (which I would never tolerate!), it has corrupted Windows' ability to pass magnet links to anything else (e.g. qBittorrent). I have manually created an association in Windows' Default Apps, but that doesn't work. I created a 'dummy' file with the .magnet extension, then right-click, 'open with' & selected 'qBittorrent' as 'Always' but that doesn't work either, still just getting: How do I remove what Maxthon did, or at least how can I re-associate qBittorrent to override what Maxthon did?

Hello! In Settings, Default App Settings, Open In Maxthon, Default File Type, Modify, under Document, if I tick all (except "pdf", as I use FoxIt PDF Reader), then click "OK" & after go back in, only "rss" + "xsl" (which were already ticked before) are still the only ones ticked.

Hello! I'm still not seeing how Maxthon can handle "Enhanced Download" without using Bright VPN!?

If I click "Don't prompt anymore", then clicking Settings works, but otherwise it doesn't.

Hello! When clicking a 'magnet' link, one is informed 'enhanced download' needs to be enabled... The instructions say it's in "Settings-Function Management", but it isn't (there's no such location under settings!), it's under "Features" & even then requires the 'questionable' "Bright VPN" to be enabled too. There's an "Open Settings" button, but clicking it does nothing...

Hello! Since Maxthon is now 8 major revisions behind, please say when the next Chromium update be released

Hello! Just found out the 'AI' is even more out-of-date than Maxthon!

Hello! Don't think this is my keyboard playing up(!), but when pressing Ctrl+W to close current tab, it seems focus is not then passed to the next open tab, so pressing Ctrl+W again, then does nothing, but clicking anywhere on the open page & then pressing Ctrl+W does close that tab...

Hello! Still (after YEARS of reporting it!) getting duplicate entries in download manager. Clearing list leaves duplicates, but restarting Maxthon then shows an empty list, seemingly confirming a caching issue.

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

Just tried latest Mx6.1.1.1000 & still missing LOTS from Mx5 & still getting compatibility issues: 1. download file size not displayed before download has already started... need to know size to know where to store 2. quick launch thumbnails... still missing... could also offer to use website favicon image 3. download auto-rename... doesn't work at all unless folder has already been parsed. also, auto-renames if download name exists in parsed folder, even if about to browse to another where it doesn't exist. MUST parse folder BEFORE checking 4. minimize to system tray missing 5. not compatible with hotmail/outlook email... after (seems random) few seconds, the page refreshes back to inbox, losing anything typed in a new message 6. Ctrl + left/right should, when focus is on a field, move between words, NOT tabs, unless focus is on page 7. download manager doesn't have resume or restart 8. help/about Maxthon link goes to already open about page - should be maxthon.com 9. no status bar showing IP, RAM, CPU, zoom 10. if website viewed at 100%, no indication how to zoom in/out (only shows if not 100%) I've used the built-in send feedback MANY times over the last month, reporting MANY bugs & issues, but had ZERO replies, hence now posting here instead!
