[MX6 PC Beta 6.1.2.500 & Android 6.0.0.3465 Release]

If you go into mx://flags you will find various Tab and tab group pinning settings which are available as options at present.

[Where is MX6's status bar?]

They haven't added it yet.

The Portable version is updating for me.

Thanks. That's new. MX5 Portable didn't update automatically.

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

It's a bug.

I'm using the portable 64-bit version.
The first problem: the automatic update does not work for me.

You can't update Portable versions automatically. You couldn't in any version of Maxthon.

Beta versions don't update automatically either.

[MX6 PC Beta Release 6.1.1.1200]

Where do you find the Custom Skin feature?

[Beautiful Sidebar!]

Nice.

I would love to try the MX6 portable, but this is a Windows Vista laptop, not compatible, unfortunately.

Update your OS.

 

[Beta version]

Try changing your User Agent.

[MX6 PC Official Release 6.1.1.1000]

Normally I would leave Hardware Acceleration running. It seems to be a bug with Chrome 88 which is what MX 6.1 is based on.

[MX 6 + MX 5 Updated User Agent]

Can you pin the thread. Thanks.

What exactly is a payment address? I don't use crypto currencies.

@BenReiley

I had the same problem as you on both MX6 and Chrome 88. That's how I fixed it.

[MX 6 + MX 5 Updated User Agent]

This is an updated thread replacing the previous ones that have been archived.

MX 6 only functions on Windows 7 or later.

At present (April 2021) it is not possible to change the User Agent in MX 6 using the traditional internal UA modifier/selector so you have to use extensions from the chrome store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/user agent?_category=extensions. The choice is yours.

The Qupzilla browser is now obsolete and is no longer being developed but it still functions well in the UA. If anybody wants to suggest a replacement please post it here. We can try them out.

When it becomes possible to Change UA's in Maxthon using the internal Maxthon modifier/selector I will update this portion of the thread.

Thanks to Imanerd.

[MX6 PC Official Release 6.1.1.1000]

Turn off Hardware acceleration in settings of MX6. You might have to wait several minutes/ half an hour for MX6 to load. When Hardware acceleration is turned off restart the browser.

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

I still use MX 5. MX6 is missing far too many features at the moment.

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

@ Mr. SS

Sorry the flag to turn on status bar doesn't appear until Chromium 90. I got confused with my browsers. The side panel flag doesn't seem to do anything.

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

Where is the sidebar extension mentioned in the Release Notes for 6.1.1.800 Beta. In mx://flags you can enable a sidebar and a status bar but nothing appears in the browser.

Can't use Hardware acceleration.

I tried to test this issue but haven't reproduced. Could you provide a video of this issue?

Can't provide a video. It seems to work OK in x64 Portable but the x64 .exe version takes over an hour to open (Black screen etc). With Hardware Acceleration off it works fine. I have the same problem with Chrome (87).

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

I managed to add Google (international) but can't modify or delete the hong Kong version

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

Mx 6.1.1.700, 64 bit.

Can't add Mx://flags or mx://components etc to favourites (this was working before).

Can't use Hardware acceleration.

Can't change Google search engine from Hong Kong version (You could change this before)

How can i change background image in home page with my own picture?

You can't. You need an extension such as

How much better Is Mx6 than Mx5

It isn't at the moment. It's missing far too many standard MX features and functions.

[Mx6 questions and discussions]

Thanks Zork. Maxthon seem to use the terms Theme and Skin interchangeably.
