Hi Mhzayer, the development team have been trying their best to fix the issue for these streaming platforms. Unfortunately, due to the rights of Widevine, they are unable to proceed further until they managed to contact Widevine and have access to the rights.

Hello. Will there ever be tabs at the bottom of the screen??

I used to like them at the bottom too but I got used to them on top
I don't think I'm going to go back to liking them on the bottom anymore

I'll have to get used to it again

Since days of Crazy Browser, I like tabs on top. At the bottom was Internet Explorer 6 with every page on taskbar and no tabs. 😋

Hello!
Upgraded to new version, but still getting 'Features' displayed before 'About' & stil only on first click & ok after.

Re. the 'Widevine' issue for DRM streaming (e.g. Netflix, Amazon, BT, etc), their website says, "Widevine enables secure premium content protection utilizing free-to-use, standards-based solutions for OTT and CAS services." - that implies it's free for you to use & other web browsers are using it, so, unless you do need to pay for a  licence (in which case you'll just have to do so!), this is a major incompatibility issue for Maxthon & should be your number #1 priority to implement, even more than upgrading the ridiculously out-of-date Chromium core!
Hopefully, you're not trying to write your own codecs for widevine else we could all be waiting years!?

Hi MichaelC362, have feedback this to the developer and they will see how to go about optimizing it.

We have been trying to get in touch with Widevine for the process to obtain the license but unfortunately there hasn't been a reply at all; which is why we are currently stuck although we are open to a solution around it.

Hello!
Where 'Features' were displaying with 'About', I see they're now displaying elsewhere too!

[MichaelC362]

Need help...

I've inadvertently clicked on the switch core button (from Blink to Trident) for Microsoft's Outlook website, while I had an email open, with attachments, one of which was being previewed & I clicked 'print' & then the core button (accidentally) - Outlook just sits there & does nothing in Trident mode, but clicking the button again reverts it back to Blink & the print dialogue is displayed & all is ok... However, I now have to do this for EVERY email attachment I want to print!  Clicking Maxthon's 'Site settings' & 'Clear all' + 'Reset permissions' doesn't help.  Is there somewhere I can see all websites with specified display core (Blink or Trident) & then just delete or revert to default (which I also don't see as a setting anymore - used to be able to select 'auto' or 'always' for Blink)?

Hi MichaelC362, could you try by closing the browser and change your user data name, afterwhich relaunch the browser again to see if it works?

It's about choice. So you can choose either up or down. Probably not a problem for programmers. For me, the tabs on top disqualify the browser, which is why I don't use maxton anymore. And I wanted to return to it.

So you're saying, once a website is set to Trident, there's no way, within Maxthon, to change that back (in this instance, when a URL is opened by a link, rather than the main page itself)!?
Clearly, there needs to be available, internally,a list of websites with selected core, zoom level & anything else one can select, with options to amend or remove.
I've seen 100s of customers with (mostly) Opera browser where they've zoomed in or out for websites, which, like Maxthon, is remembered per website, but at least Opera lists these allowing edit or removal (I suspect other web browsers do too as it's an obvious requirement).
There used to be an option in Maxthon for force Blink or auto-detect, but I don't see anything like that now.
Since Trident is so incompatible these days (mostly only required for old government, recruitment & educational websites), it's not something that would be a big issue to lose anyway (it's still nice to have it, just in case!), however, it NEEDS to be manageable.

You can enable the switch core button and change the core engine on the fly.

When I want to report a broken extension, Maxton closes with an error. After the first time a report was sent. The same action in the Vivaldi browser did not raise any error and the page for submitting a complaint was opened. If you just delete the extension without the complaint checkbox, then everything is fine.

Hi Chemodan, kindly send the dump file so I could get the developer to check on this issue.

Hi grisp1, could you kindly send us a video on this issue so we could look into it?

Hi @BugSir009

I'm unable to record a video of the incident since it's difficult to reproduce, I just made a screenshot (please see below). When you have an unread Facebook notification pending and https://www.facebook.com page was open in the last session, a notification window pops in Maxthon when the browser starts. Clicking the notification window crashes Maxthon.

Thanks.

Hello @MaxthonJeff, could we please have an update on the progress toward resolving this major product flaw? It's difficult to believe that it hasn't been sorted out by now if the management team were properly focused on it.
