Settings > Advanced > Browsing > Enable standard rendering in Retro Mode, make sure it's checked. I've changed your time settings to US mountain time (GMT -7hrs). Hopefully the settings issue will get sorted this week sometime now that China is back from their holiday.

If they can't be imported then the OP will need to create a new one here. Otherwise the old forum is still there for such things.

Advanced cookie management using third party programs If you need to do more than clean cookies on one or two sites using the above method, then another option is to use a third party tool to help with this. Using Cookiespy Cookiespy is a small utility that supports Maxthon. Install and select Maxthon from the tabs on top. You may need to select it using the + button on the right top corner if you use the portable version. It will display cookies and allow you to search, then delete as required. Using a SQL database manager Thanks to the scripting nature that SQL DB uses you can quite easily selectively delete cookies using any SQL browser/manager program. I've tested with DB Browser for SQLite. This is a basic rundown of how to use it: Open the cookie file (\UserData\Users\guest\Cookies) - Make a backup first! In the Execute SQL tab enter the following query: SELECT * FROM cookies Then on the next line is where you will state the cookies you want to display/delete in the format: WHERE (host_key NOT LIKE '%facebook%') AND (host_key NOT LIKE '%google%') Press the play button to run the query. The SELECT command displays all the cookies that are not what you have designated in the above command. To delete cookies use the query: DELETE FROM Cookies WHERE (host_key NOT LIKE '%facebook%') AND (host_key NOT LIKE '%google%') Press the play button to run the query. This will delete ALL cookies that DO NOT have facebook or google in the cookie data. You can add as many as you like, they just need to be connected with AND: WHERE (host_key NOT LIKE '%facebook%') AND (host_key NOT LIKE '%google%') AND WHERE (host_key NOT LIKE '%microsoft%') AND (host_key NOT LIKE '%yahoo%') Also make sure all the symbols ('%%') are there otherwise you will get errors. NOTE: You only need to use the DELETE query. I've mentioned the SELECT option so you can view the cookies that will be deleted in case there is some other ones that you didn't add to the list. I recommend creating a backup of your Cookies file before you do this in case something goes wrong. But they're only cookies - so it's not that bad. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, i'm just providing the info that I came across and won't be responsible for anyone losing any data by using this method. Seeing as the browser natively writes and reads to a SQL database, i'd imagine it's relatively trivial for the developers to create a UI to make it accessible to the end user. But for whatever reason it hasn't been done yet. I'd guess that it could be added as an extension if there was a way that you could implement a SQL manager into the extension file somehow. Regardless this is an option for anyone that needs to remove multiple cookies and keep select ones from different sites. Enjoy :-)

Clearing cookies using Developer Tools Open the Developer Tools (F12) Go to the Resources tab, then the cookies section. Right-click on the address you would like to clear cookies from and select Clear.

Can't confirm. Works fine, can enter the full word and it finds all.

Sounds like there is an issue there. Doesn't make sense why it keeps on syncing from the cloud when the local data is current and updated. Just to be sure: You sign in data gets updated from the cloud you delete that data sync ... and it comes back?? What happens if you delete it and do nothing.. wait a while to see if it auto syncs, close maxthon, restart?

Maxthon has only a basic level of cookie management from the UI. Your options are delete all or nothing using the options provided. This can be accessed from: - the quicktools bar, - Main Menu > Clear Browsing Data, or - CTRL-SHIFT-DEL keyboard shortcut. Select the Delete cookies option on the dialog that opens. Using Developer Tools Sometimes you may want or need to delete cookies for a particular site due to errors or otherwise and deleting all your cookies isn't the most ideal option. To work around this we have some options. Firstly Maxthon does allow you delete cookies for the current site by using the Developer Tools. FOR MX5 (5.1.x and later) - Open the Developer Tools (F12) - Go to the Application tab, click the Clear storage item. - Ensure at least the Cookies option is selected in the right pane. - Click the Clear site data button. - You can also right-click on the site address under Storage > Cookies and select Clear. FOR MX4.9 (and early MX5 versions) - Open the Developer Tools (F12) - Go to the Resources tab, then the cookies section. - Right-click on the address you would like to clear cookies from and select Clear. - You can also select individual cookies if required in the right pane. This should be your first option when requiring cookies to be deleted only from a particular site. Obviously it's not recommended for anyone who isn't comfortable playing around with things that aren't made directly available by the dev's through the UI. Use at your own risk etc.

Run through the troubleshooting thread. At a guess i'd say AdBlock...

Does this happen all the time? or just a one off?

You would have to ask the team that creates the extension. But per the link in post #3, Maxthon doesn't have the required API calls to allow it to function. So unless the Maxthon dev's decide to do something about it, it seems there's nothing the Ghostery team can do.

odyssee replied at 2015-4-9 19:25 That stopped working for me which is why I started looking for other workarounds. Found YT Centre and stuck with that since. Not sure of the exact reason, but given all the extra stuff that YTC can do i'm more than happy to install it.

It's being worked on apparently, not ETA as yet. Custom UA generally fixes issues like this.

luis_v replied at 2015-4-9 04:50 As A.S. said, it's only available on Flash videos, and because Youtube is moving away from flash to HTML5 your only option is to use an extension to force Flash to work. Either use the one linked above, or Youtube Centre, which offers more options for customising Youtube, including downloading videos. There was talk of implementing a popup feature for HTML5, but it's unknown if or when that might happen.

Never had an issue like that. Check to see if one of the tabs open is causing it. What happens when you click the mute button on the status bar? Does the sound stop? I'm thinking it's a page with sound that for some reason isn't working properly. No reason why Maxthon should be doing anything like that otherwise.

So... what's the news on this....

Which GIF? The layout is different on compared to Chrome, 1 line over multiple pages instead of 2 lines on Chrome. But for me nothing was clickable on Chrome or FF but worked fine on MX. Probably a one off glitch though.

odyssee replied at 2015-4-6 07:37 are you sure first option (alwyas show icon in system tray) is checked in settings ? It's not that. If any of those options are checked MX doesn't show in the ALT-TAB list. It will only show if it's an active window. Do you have the MX icon pinned to the taskbar? Try unpin/re-pin. I've had some weird things happen where I can't pin the MX icon to the taskbar, but closing it and restarting allows it to work again....weird.

Lward53 replied at 2015-4-1 09:35 Ahh, Yeah its a font issue. Any way to get this working with a different font? on a side note, the b ... Best option is to use the Stylish Extension. It will allow you to adjust the parts that you want and leave the icons alone (at least that's the theory). But if you want it as a global option for all websites, then it makes things much harder as there are many ways that they can code that.

Do you know how many extra sites are connected to when doing almost anything else on the net? If you did you'd probably not be online. I don't think this is of a concern. The only thing I can offer is finding out what sites are connected to and block them using your firewall or similar. Or don't use Maxthon.

Works fine here with ABP enabled. Mine looks the same as Chrome. It's a font issue as the icons aren't actually images. Seeing as the font is different in Maxthon on your version compared to Chrome, i'm guessing you've changed the default font in Settings > Advanced > Webpage display. Change that back to default and see if that fixes it. Or if you're using an extension like Stylish that is doing the same. Disable it and check again.

I don't think it's about not caring. It's that there's only so much they can do. If something went awry when you deleted your phone number causing data to be corrupted or lost, if it can't be restored i'm not sure what else you can expect. If you have a backup of most of your data, then that is possibly the best outcome you can expect. Hopefully BugMiss006 might be able offer something after the weekend.

Why does it matter how many processes it uses? Do you watch the process list while watching a youtube video or reading a site? So long as the browser does what it's supposed to do I don't see how that is a major concern. Please enlighten me? As for as it slowing you internet speed due to connections being opened? Can you elaborate on what/how much bandwidth it's using on starting? Doesn't make sense for it to be downloading anything more than some QA updates or similar - a few KB at best.

-Doesn't really matter the site content as far as I know, that used to happen while loading new pages, though - both loading in a new tab and not. Also Youtube was making the browser lag both with and without the Youtube media center extension... Weird things happen. I've had an issue where webpages wouldn't refresh properly after being opened from the last tabs page. I needed to force refresh to get it working. Turned out one of the pages that was being opened was the culprit. Removed that from the last tabs and everything worked fine. Never would have picked that to be the cause. As regards hardware acceleration never had a problem with that, my computer specs are too high to think of a problem with my cpu/ram, honestly.Might not necessarily be due to specs, but rather the way the code interacts. MX HW acceleration isn't as far along as other browsers, so disabling it shouldn't affect performance (especially on your system), but may help stabilise the browser if there is some issue in something that's happening. -New tabs couldn't be added to the list, I could open just about... Nothing at all. Basically when I was trying to open something I was getting an error message saying domainempty (I was like "what?") allowing me to either click ok or the X button to close it (that should be in the report) and even if I did that it kept popping out until the browser crash.First part says there is something wrong with the files that save that data. A clean install should have fixed that (or at least delete the files involved) For the domainempty error, try out this fix.

yep, something strange going on there. Whether that is part of the issue I don't know, but it could be somehow related. I'd be looking into getting that fixed and then working back from there. Also check using Maxthon Portable or signing out of your passport. More details in the troubleshooting thread, #8 & #9
