Also, I get many errors like this lately (starting with version 6.1.2.1400). I get them on websites that I never got them on before. This page isn’t working www.example.com redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Also, something similar to Vivaldi's "Cookie Crumbler" would be very useful, something to set all those annoying GDPR permissions to a certain level and have no more pop-ups and pop-overs asking permission to plant tons of cookies on your device.

This is a basic troubleshooting guide for users to try and find the cause of issues. Following the guide should allow you to hopefully fix the issue, or at least figure out the source that is causing it so that when posting on the forum users have more information available to offer help. 1 / Are you running the latest version of Maxthon? Check the forum for any new releases and update/reinstall. Most issues will generally be resolved in new builds, or just by the reinstall process. Also ensure you have the latest version of Flash and any other plugins you might be using. If an update/reinstall doesn't work, try doing a clean install which removes all userdata during the uninstall process. Your userdata will be restored if you are using a Maxthon Passport. If you're using a local/guest account, make sure you have a backup of your Maxthon userdata folder (Open an explorer window and type the following into the address bar: %appdata%\Maxthon3\Users\guest). Keep a copy this folder, then copy it back once you have reinstalled. 2 / Do a forum search. Chances are someone has had the issue before you and a fix has been found. If you find a solution that works, reply in the thread so others know that it has worked for other users as well. 3 / Try changing to Retro Mode. A great feature of Maxthon that allows you to view a site using the Internet Explorer renderer in case the site has issues with Webkit/Blink. Main Menu > Switch Browser Core, or press the lightning button on the right of the address bar so it changes to a broken blue page. 4 / Connection error? (eg. unable to resolve domain name or can't connect error) try with another browser to see if it also has the same issue. Use a site like http://isup.me to check that the site is in fact online. Also check there isn't a problem with your DNS servers. You can try testing with Google (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.220) servers. And always provide a link to the site/page in question when posting so others can check to see if the problem is more widespread. 5 / Try disabling AdBlock Plus. Sometimes overly aggressive blocking can cause issues on a site. If this fixes the problem some of your rules may need to be revised. Post on the forum and someone should be able to offer a solution. 6 / Try deleting/clearing cookies There might be a corrupt or invalid cookie causing the problem. Deleting them will ensure new ones are created. Option 1: (Ctrl-Shift-Del) or from the Main Menu > Clear Browsing Data menu option, or toolbar. [Images here] Option 2: To delete cookies for only one site you can use the Developer Tools. [Images here] Option 3: You can also use the following 3rd party programs: - CookieSpy which can show Maxthon cookies, and DB Browser for SQLite which offer more advanced means of working with cookies. [More details here] NOTE: Only option 1 is recommended. Options 2 & 3 are only for advanced users. 7 / Try disabling all extensions. If disabling extensions fixes the problem then one of your extensions is causing the problem. Enable them one by one testing after each until you find the one causing the problem. 8 / Check the advanced options. Ensure you are using the default User Agent (should be unchecked), check with GPU acceleration on/off, and ensure that "Allow all sites to run plug-ins is enabled" if trying to troubleshoot a plugin related problem. These can be found by going to Main Menu > Settings > Advanced. If the above steps don't resolve the issue, follow the next steps which should help determine if the problem is with Maxthon, your account settings or system related and hopefully lead to the cause of the problem. 9 / Sign out of your Maxthon Passport. Check to see if the same problem still occurs. If not signing in fixes the problem, then it's more than likely a settings related issue. Disable all sync options from the menu then enable them one by one, testing for the problem until it occurs again. Once you know which settings are causing the issue make a post on the forum with the details for further assistance. 10 / Test with Maxthon Portable. Download & extract to any folder, run, check for the issue. DO NOT SIGN IN to your Maxthon Passport account. If this works then it's more than likely related to your install. Doing a clean install should fix the problem. If going through the above doesn't fix the problem, then start a thread on the forum to see if someone can help out. Offer as much information as you can, especially the following: - Any error messages; - What version of Maxthon and operating system you are running; - Any out of the ordinary programs (network related like firewalls, or downloaders like Orbit); - What you have tried to fix/find out what the issue was. Otherwise people will offer solutions that you may have already done; - And if applicable link some screenshots if it will make things easier for others to understand the problem. The best case scenario is you will find and fix the issue without having to wait hours or days for a response on the forum. At minimum you will narrow in on the issue allowing others to offer a quicker and more appropriate response for the problem. And you may learn something as well :-) Happy troubleshooting!

magg replied at 2014-12-30 18:59 Check this- should help http://forum.maxthon.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=3735&pid= ... Ohh hey thats perfect! Ok, so then I am a little confused, why do I see all these posts where I see you guys saying that you guys don't support cookies? Is that just because you don't store cookies like other browsers do, say like in a directory where you can go and individually delete specific files? Perhaps that is what I am always seeing around? I appreciate the really quick reply on this. The link you sent me was perfect! I used that to delete ALL the cookies, and while I had to relog in to all the sites I was on except (oddly enough) the PCH page, but after I cleared all the cookies, I was able to get the PCH games page to load, so you helped me fix my problem, thanks!

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.

advanced settings should be added, many settings can be made in google chrome. example; site settings (flash, cookies, camera, microphone and others) these features should be corrected its MX5 version its MX6 version

Hi, According to the information you provided, please try to clear cookies and rename your username folder as following then try again: 1. Please clear Cookies and Cache files (press "Ctrl +Shift +Delete" -- check 'Delete Cookies and Delete Cache files'' -- click "Clear now" button) 2. Please go to the directory "%appdata%/Maxthon3/Users/" then rename the maxthon account folder . After above steps, please restart your Maxthon then try again. Thank you for your support.

Hi Guys, So I have this weird problem where when I try to get into Facebook (especially when there are posts and messages waiting for me), the site becomes very unresponsive to the point where I just have to close it and use a different browser in order to access the posts / messages. I have not seen this problem with any other website. The only way for me to view the post or msg is to just use a another browser like Chrome or Firefox. Just to cover my bases, I am running Windows 8.1 and Maxthon v 4.4.3.4000 (the latest version according to Maxthon:About.) If I do not have any new posts, or no one has attempted to message me, I can use the site just fine, but once someone does, and I click on the Facebook tab, or I open Facebook and there is a message / post waiting for me, the page will not load. I have tried many things to get past this, suck as simply closing the tab and opening anew. Nope. I have tried closing the browsers, rebooting (Why? Because nothing else worked! lol) Nope, nadda.) Clearing cache, history. Gone as far as to use CClearner to help clean something that may just be hiding..No way!.... Ok, So how-about clearing the cookies for Facebook? (F12/resources, use at your own risk if you aren't sure what you are doing) Clearing cookies did not help either. So guys as you can see, I don't know what or why I am having this problem and it's is only with Facebook, and only when there is a new post or personal message to me. Otherwise there is not problem moving about Facebook. If anyone can provide me with some suggestions, I would really be appreciated. It makes absolutely no sense to me what so ever. If I had to venture a guess as to the problem, I would say that it was either an issue with corrupt cookies, or corrupt cache, however, clearing these does not seem to help out at all, and that puts me at a huge loss. The worse part is clearing cleaning these does not seem to be helping me get past this. My only solution thus far is to just use another browser. I was looking through the forums, and I came a across another thread that I am not sure but could be similar to this. I am not real sure but since this problem seems was out there, It thought I would mention it anyway incase they are related, plus it would help silence those that think that people don't search the forums here before opening a new thread! Check out this link http://forum.maxthon.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14593&fromuid=30707338 May not have anything to do with my issue, but who knows. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas please let me know!

MarkStrobel3367 replied at 2015-1-13 20:56 Magg, I have a question for you - Is there any way to design the aol extension so that one doesn't ... To be honest- I'm a noob in creating extensions. Second thing- Aol Reader probably doesn't support autologin and doesn't accept cookies. You can check easily with any other browsers-logg into AOL Reader then close/restart browser and you have to loggin again to the reader. Even when you don't clear cookies. FYI-my Feedly rss have autologin/ keep cookies... So far- I'm realy sorry-but I can't help you to solve this issue. Maybe someone on forum could help with this. My advice- try once again Maxthons RSS reader or try Feedly.

@Wilser he verificado todo lo que me has dicho y si efectivamente la opción de permitir cookies a todos los sitios esta habilitado y la opción de Borrar las cookies esta deshabilitada, por lo general yo no las borro por que se que causan problemas. Eso sucede a veces. A veces esta normal sin ningun problema y de repente de un dia para otro se pone así, que me bloquea las cookies estando esas opciones habilitadas.

Yes, unfortunately Maxthon's extensions don't support cookies. So If you clear your cookies, you have to log in again.

1st problem - Try disable adhunter as Oliver One said. If that works, then you may need to adjust some of the filters applied. If not then we'll start looking for other causes. 2nd problem - Main Menu > Clear Browsing Data, make sure the "Delete cookies" option isn't checked. If that isn't checked, then there might be a problem with where your cookies are being saved. Magic Fill doesn't auto-login to sites, it just pre-enters the details it has saved so all you have to do is press the login button.

Here I have no problem and I have this cookies 11860 11859 Maybe you should delete cookies with dev tools and retry.

BugSir007 replied at 2015-1-15 18:31 Hi Momfer, G;ad to talk to you. Really sorry for finding Maxthon slower due to ABP. I have cleaned all history and cookies and still it is slower than the stable version. With slower I mean that it takes more time to load websites and mostly to load pictures. When not delete history and cookies it stays slow.

'Manage Exceptions' don't exsist in Maxthon 4 (yet)... Sorry for that. 'Manage Exceptions' is only in Internet Explorer, Firefox and in Google Chrome. So in the Maxthon 4 Browser, you sadly have to allow 3-part cookies temporally, when you are on YouTube and want to make a Comment there. Then BLOCK or Auto block, for 3-part cookies after a YouTube visit. It's realy fast to do, in Mx.4 settings... And sorry for this late anwser. Best Regards Ohke

It hasn't tracked cookies and browsing history from Maxthon. If you have Fiddler, you could try to check it out and contrast with Chrome browser.

If you're using a Passport account, try signing out and see if the problem still happens. I'm thinking it's something related to cookies seeing as it works then doesn't - the theory is the second time it finds a cookie that is corrupt/wrong/something else and that's why it won't run. You can try deleting cookies and see if that helps - Menu > Clear browsing data.

not resolved in 5.1.2.1000... Although official said they resolved the 'supporting issue', not the oooops issue i use facebook a/c I've try: 1. clear site cookies 2.login/out 3.gif In addition, i need to login in everytime after i close maxthon.
