Dev CZ Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Why is proxy enabled by default after installation? There is no reason (outside China) why should be proxy enabled by default. For improve of user experience should be proxy disabled after installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 This has been mentioned at least once before. I agree that it should default to No Proxy. With that said, the default option is to use the IE proxy settings and if a user already has these set up, then there's a good chance that they would want them used in Maxthon. If they're not then no proxy is in use anyway. So in that respect it shouldn't affect a user at all, except that they won't have to adjust the MX settings to use the IE proxy if they do. It'd be nice if it was set to OFF by default, but I don't think it will affect too many people if it isn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugMiss006 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi， Thanks for your question. The default proxy is IE, which is as same as that in Chrome. That is a normal setting for users all over the world rather than Chinese. You can just feel free to use it. I hope this could help you. Have a nice day!

Dev CZ Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Ok. But must be this strange icon in the address bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHYR Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Ok. But must be this strange icon in the address bar? You should be able to hide from the view menu but it's a bug that has existed since being introduced. It's on the devs to do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's skin dependent? Windows 10 64-bit build 10525/Windows 10 Mobile build 10512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I said "should", un-checking it has never worked. Works here. Also if you set it to No Proxy it disappears... at least that's the way it's always worked for me. Its been like that forever, so why all of a sudden is it an issue? It's not all of a sudden, it's been mentioned at least twice that i recall. Not a huge issue, but given it's an advanced feature that many users probably don't use by default, it doesn't make sense that it's set the way it is. But seeing as Chrome does this also (maybe other browsers?), then maybe it can be seen as a common default. Either way it's not a critical issue and my reasoning behind it seems to make sense to me. If it is ever changed I won't be complaining :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHYR Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ah, the proxy icon cannot be hidden if it is in use, i.e., if I'm using IE proxy settings it remains visible. If I disable proxy, then it can be hidden. I'm hoping this is what is happening for you too! I long ago lost hope that it would be "fixed". Anyway, thanx for clearing that up!
